Rohit Shetty Issues Warning After Fake Facebook Post on Scout OP and Love Gill Surfaces
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has cautioned his fans against fake social media accounts impersonating him after a misleading post linked to his name went viral on Facebook. He clarified that he does not have official accounts on Facebook or X (formerly Twitter).
Shetty shared a clarification on his official Instagram account on Tuesday, stating that Instagram is the only social media platform where he has an authorised presence. He said that any account or profile claiming to represent him on Facebook or X is fake and unauthorised.
In his statement, the filmmaker said, "I want to clarify that my only official social media presence is on Instagram. I am not on Facebook or X. Any account or profile claiming to be me on these platforms is fake and unauthorised."
He further urged people not to interact with such accounts or consider any content shared through them as his statements or views. He also thanked his followers for their understanding and continued support.
Fake Post Linked to Bigg Boss 20 Contestants
The clarification came after a Facebook post criticising comedian Gaurav Gupta's roast of Bigg Boss 20 contestants Scout OP and Love Gill was incorrectly attributed to Rohit Shetty.
The controversy is linked to an episode of the reality show that aired last Saturday, in which comedian Gaurav Gupta roasted several contestants. However, some of his remarks did not go down well with social media users, who subsequently criticised him online.
Following the circulation of the misleading Facebook post, Shetty clarified that he had no official presence on the platform and warned fans against engaging with fake profiles using his name.
The filmmaker's clarification aims to prevent confusion among followers and stop unauthorised accounts from spreading misleading content in his name.
