Why Ameesha Patel is warning fans

In this digital era, it is not uncommon for people to pass on incorrect information or even pretend to be someone else, and something similar has happened with Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel.

Ameesha used social media to raise concern about an imposter passing off a fake number as hers, most likely in an attempt to scam people.

While it is not clear till now what the intention of the person was, the 'Gadar' actress warned the netizens by sharing a screenshot of the contact on the Stories section of her Instagram.

She also asked everyone not to fall for the trap and keep themselves and their data safe from such impostors.

"This number is FAKE number n this person is an imposter - pls do not fall for it!! This is not me (folded hands emoji)", she alerted.

In the meantime, Ameesha, who last graced the screen with "Gadar 2" opposite Sunny Deol, talked about the much-anticipated “Humraaz 2”.

Showing her confidence in the sequel, she shed light on the strong recall value of the original film.

During an exclusive conversation with media, Ameesha shared, “I think, more than me, more than Bobby, and more than Akshay, of course, this film has been worked upon. And the sequel is already a drastic mark, so the sequel will do good business, because the audience already loves it and they are excited for it. But I think more than us, the producers, you know, they are excited about it. Because their film is the most popular for another franchise, so that's great.”

In July last year, Ameesha posted a throwback photograph from over two decades ago, clicked during the promotions of "Hamraaz".
