Anupam Kher says his Twitter account hacked

Senior actor Anupam Kher's Twitter account was hacked. Kher was not aware of the incident until his friends called him and informed him about the same.

"I am in Los Angeles and it is 1 am. Have spoken to Twitter already," Kher told ANI.

Kher noted that he received a link from Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta in a direct message on Monday.

Dasgupta’s Twitter handle is reported to have been hacked by Turkish Pro-Pak hackers.

“Got a DM yesterday from Mr Swapan Dasgupta’s account about a link. A first from him. So opened it. Have spoken to Twitter already,” Kher added.

Kher's account was "temporarily restricted" until a short while back and is now back to normal.
