Abhishek Kumar, a well-known contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, has recently issued an urgent warning to his fans regarding a troubling scam that has surfaced involving his name. The actor took to his official social media accounts to shed light on the deceptive activities of an individual named Shivam Saini, who has been impersonating him. Kumar expressed his distress over this fraudulent scheme, where Saini has been reaching out to Kumar’s acquaintances, falsely soliciting money while pretending to be the actor.
In a video shared on his Instagram story, Abhishek Kumar detailed the alarming scam. Visibly shaken by the situation, he explained, “There is a person named Shivam Saini who seems to have access to detailed information about my personal life—my daily activities, whereabouts, and even my current projects. This individual has been calling and texting my contacts, impersonating me and asking for Rs 10,000, claiming that his Google Pay is not working and promising to repay the money the next day.”
Abhishek Kumar further revealed that he had previously taken legal action by filing a police complaint against the scammer, which temporarily halted the fraudulent activities. However, the deceitful behavior has unfortunately resumed. Kumar is now urging his followers to be vigilant and not fall for these schemes if they are contacted by someone using his name.
To address the ongoing scam, Abhishek has once again turned to the legal system. He has filed a renewed police complaint, and his father has also lodged a report against the perpetrator. Determined to bring the scammer to justice, Kumar stated, “Iss baar usko hum chodenge nahi” (This time, we will not let this go). Alongside his video message, he shared the scammer’s phone number to help others avoid becoming victims of the fraud.
Abhishek Kumar is widely recognized for his role in the popular TV series Udaariyaan and gained significant fame as the first runner-up on Bigg Boss 17. Currently, he is winning hearts with his performances on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, hosted by Rohit Shetty.
In his Instagram story, Kumar highlighted his efforts to resolve the scam issue. By taking a proactive approach and issuing public warnings, Abhishek Kumar is committed to protecting his fans from deceit and ensuring that such fraudulent schemes are effectively addressed.
