Shabana Azmi to file police complaint after phishing attempts made using her name

Veteran Bollywood star Shabana Azmi, who recently starred in films Ghoomar and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, took to Instagram and warned after phishing attempts made using her name.

She wrote, “It has come to our notice that some of our colleagues and associates have received messages purported to be from Ms Shabana Azmi. These are clearly “phishing” attempts asking responders to make purchases on App Store for the messenger. Please do not reply or pick any calls/messages that appear to be coming to you from Shabanaji. This is a cybercrime of impersonation, and we are making a police complaint.”

Karan Johar made a smashing comeback at the box office with his directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Since the release of the film, Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi’s lip-lock scene from the movie has been grabbing headlines. Now, Shabana Azmi has revealed her husband Javed Akhta’s reaction to the scene in the movie.

In a recent interview with Zoom, Shabana Azmi revealed that her lip-lock with Dharmendra in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani didn’t bother Javed Akhtar and said, “Oh he was not bothered. But what bothered him was my rowdy behaviour. Throughout the film, I was applauding, whistling, cheering, and shouting. He was like, ‘I don’t know this woman sitting next to me.’ I went insane with excitement.”

The actress also talked about the lip-lock scene in the movie with Dharmendra and the public’s reaction to it and said, “I never thought it would create such a fuss! People are laughing and cheering when we do kiss. While shooting it was never an issue. It is true that I haven’t kissed much on screen before. But who wouldn’t want to kiss a man as handsome as Dharmendra?”
