Fake celebrity accounts are no longer limited to social media timelines. Now, the trouble has moved to private chats.

The recent target of a fake WhatsApp account is Dhurandhar fame actress Ayesha Khan.

The 23-year-old has warned fans about a person pretending to be her on WhatsApp.

The Shararat performer shared a screenshot of the message along with the number and made it clear that it was not her behind it.

"This is not me! Please do not entertain!" she wrote to warn her followers on Instagram.

Ayesha is not alone. A few months ago, actresses Rakul Preet Singh, Aditi Rao Hydari and Shriya Saran also reported similar cases.

Rakul shared a screenshot of her fake WhatsApp account and said, “Please note this isn’t my number. Do not engage in any random conversations.”

The Bibbo Jan of Heera Mandi revealed that a few people brought to her notice that someone has been pretending to be her on WhatsApp, using her pictures and messaging photographers about 'photoshoots'.

On the other hand, Shriya expressed her frustration saying,  "Please stop writing to people and wasting time ! Unfortunately this is weird . I feel bad for wasting people time . This is not me ! Not my number."

The rise of fake WhatsApp identities shows how celebrities are becoming targets in new ways. 

On the work front, Ayesha was last seen in Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2. There are reports she has joined Bhagam Bhag 2, which reportedly stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Manoj Bajpayee. There is no official announcement yet.
