Javed Akhtar says his post on the Olympics for team India was not by him
On the evening of July 28, Javed Akhtar took to his X account to inform his fans that his account had been compromised. The screenwriter, lyricist, and poet also stated that a post about the Indian team at the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024 was not posted by him but was done by his hackers. But seems like the tweet in question has been removed.
He wrote in his tweet, “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.”
