Did Mahira Sharma really fake her certificate of appreciation received from the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards? Well, it sure seems so. The Bigg Boss 13 contestant had earlier taken to her Instagram account to share a picture of her certificate that she won for being the best-dressed contestant of BB 13.

The DPIFF team has also issued an intimation letter to Sharma to take down the 'misleading PR activities done by her and her team' along with a demand for a written apology.
