Javed Akhtar’s X account hacked: ‘There is a message from my account about our Indian team for Olympics’

Screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar informed on Sunday night that his X account had been hacked, following which a "totally harmless" message about the Indian contingent for the Paris Olympics 2024 was sent under his name.

“My X ID is hacked . There is a message ostensibly from my account about our Indian team for Olympics . It is totally harmless but not sent by me . We are in the process of complaining to the concern authorities in X,” Akhtar wrote on X.

However, he didn’t reveal when he found out about the alleged breach of security and also didn’t talk about the contents of the post that was sent from his account.

The veteran writer has almost 4.6 million followers on X.

On the work front, Akhtar last wrote the lyrics of ‘Hone Do Jo Hota Hai’ for the Netflix film Kho Gaye Hum Kahan.
