Mumbai: Shahid Kapur is facing an identity crisis, literally. Not in real life though, but in the virtual world. Like many celebs who have been shocked after they found out that people have opened fake profiles under their name on social networking sites like Orkut and Facebook (see box), Shahid is fuming about the fact that he is being impersonated on Twitter.
Shahid Kapur is livid that someone is impersonating him in the virtual world
A source close to the actor tipped us off, "Shahid's identity has been stolen by someone in virtual space and Shahid has not taken this lightly. The problem is that this particular person who has opened an account in the name of Shahid Kapur has been connecting with his fans and posing as if he is the real Shahid. This is a clear case of impersonation as well as cheating many who adore the actor."
The insider adds, "Shahid wants to nip this problem in its bud. He is worried what if this someone might end up using his name to con someone or does something which is not socially correct thereby denting his brand name. The real Shahid could land in trouble."
When contacted Shahid confirmed, "My friends brought to my notice that there is a profile of Shahid Kapur that is active on Twitter, and this person has been connecting with my fans who don't know that the ID is fake," he states.
Our sources say that if the fake ID is not deactivated soon, Shahid might take up the matter with Indian cyber crime police authorities.
