Chamola shared a screenshot on her Instagram story revealing a WhatsApp account using the name "Akanshag Khanna". She captioned the screenshot with a clear warning: "Please ignore n report this number as it's impersonating me n msging all of my friends (sic)". She further clarified, "Everyone beware this isn't me... i don't have a second functioning number (sic)".

By alerting her followers, Akanksha Chamola aimed to prevent potential fraud and protect her friends and acquaintances from being misled. Her proactive approach was appreciated by her social media followers, many of whom acknowledged her warning and thanked her for raising awareness about the scam.

While Gaurav Khanna has been actively engaging with the media and making public appearances after his Bigg Boss 19 victory, Akanksha Chamola has generally maintained a low profile. However, she is often mentioned by Gaurav as a pillar of support in his life and career.

Recently, Akanksha joined Gaurav in celebrating his birthday, which coincided with his Bigg Boss win.

This impersonation incident serves as a reminder to exercise caution when interacting with unfamiliar messages online, even if they appear to be from known contacts. With the increase in online fraud, it is crucial to verify the identity of the sender before engaging in any conversation or sharing personal information.
