Mahesh Bhatt and Mahima impersonated on Facebook

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt was in a shock when his dentist, Dr Chetan Pradhan, walked up to him during a party, a few days ago and said, ‘It was nice to see you on Facebook.' Dr Pradhan was stumped when Bhatt told him that he has not registered himself on Facebook. That’s when Dr Pradhan realised that he had been chatting online with a complete stranger. When contacted, Dr Pradhan confirmed the news and said that this happened recently. Somebody is posing as filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt on Facebook and talking to the world. It’s extremely dangerous.
On retrospection, Dr Pradhan admitted that he did sense that he was not talking to Mahesh Bhatt, but he chose to ignore it. He explained that he started talking to the man who claimed that he is Mahesh Bhatt on Facebook over the last 10 days. However, this man did not seem to know much about him, which he found funny. But, he did not probe any further for the simple reason that the account had Bhatt saab’s face and he thought it would not be right to push the questions too far.
Dr Pradhan says that he had a similar experience with Mahima Chaudhary on Facebook. Mahima is also his patient and that’s how he understood that somebody was only claiming to be Mahima on the site. Mahesh Bhatt said that this so-called technology of today’s world is hazardous. It creates illusions. It can simply undo all the good work they have done by sending out wrong information and messages. It’s a wake-up call for celebrities.

Mahima too confirmed the story and said that somebody is impersonating her on Facebook. Some people have told her that they have been talking to her on the site and she has definitely told them that she has neither the time nor the inclination to go on Facebook.
