Actor Swara Bhasker’s X account was restored on Sunday after it was “hacked” when she clicked on links that falsely claimed her page had been suspended.
ย
“*AND WE ARE BACK LIKE A BAD PENNY* Thank you everyone who helped! @XCorpIndia #Unsuspended #Unhacked #Secured #ItsMe,” she wrote on the social media platform.
ย
Bhasker on Thursday said her X account was permanently suspended due to alleged copyright infringements over two posts she shared on Republic Day.
ย
“Two images from two tweets have been marked as โcopyright infringementsโ. Basis which my X account is locked / disabled, I canโt access it and permanent suspension has been approved by your teams,” she wrote.
ย
The actor, known for films such as “Nil Battey Sannata”, “Tanu Weds Manu” franchise, and “Veere Di Wedding”, had then shared a screenshot of the “email” she received from the team of X on Instagram and criticised the decision as “ridiculous” and “untenable”.

The next day, in an Instagram post, Bhasker said the email that was sent “claiming suspension was fake”.
ย
“When I clicked those links my account got hacked… This is the fake email ID… Real email from X. And itโs super scary because the fake link took me to a proper ditto lookalike site of X with the logo and everything and I even filled out an appeal form that asked for govt. ID !!! “Then I got this email which alerted me that the account had been hacked because I never delegated my account or granted access to anyone!!” she wrote alongside the screenshots of the mails.
