After Nakuul Mehta, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee becomes a victim to theft and hacking. The actress' bank account was reportedly hacked and the hacker also stole around Rs 16 lakhs. The actress told TOI, "I realised today early morning when I got a message from the bank stating that Rs. 16 lakh had been withdrawn. I was confused and lost. I didn't know what to do and how to react initially. But then I immediately informed my mother and the bank manager. The amount from my account was withdrawn at around 1 am IST." The actress is obviously worried about losing her hard-earned money.
She further told the portal, "I will be visiting the bank now, and later on will talk to my lawyer and will decide what to do to resolve the case. I am really irritated at this point of time. We earn the money after so much of hard work. I just don't understand how people can steal it so easily. The Government asks us to go cashless but even now with cash in the bank, things are not safe.The hackers are educated and they are simply misusing their talent. I really hope they understand and start using their knowledge for some better cause."
The actress also warned fans to stay safe and watch what they post on social media. She says, "In today's world that is so tech savvy, it is very, very important for people to be careful with everything right from their bank account to their social media accounts. We earn the money after hours of hard work and dedication, and such things are not just a physical strain but also strains us out mentally. I really would request fans to be very careful with all this. It's not a safe world, on the Internet especially."
