"I was sent a request by a person, who claimed to be producer Ritesh Sidhwani, through a BB pin 2613 AD76, which I accepted assuming it to be genuine," the model said. She filed a written complaint with the Versova Police Station, against two unidentified persons, who have been chatting dirty with her and sending obscene messages on her Blackberry Messenger claiming to be Ritesh Sidhwani..
Model Liza narrated the story in detail "He started doing loose talk on chat and spoke dirty, asking me to come on Skype (Video web casting software) for one sided screen test. He persistently asked me to come on web cam in a two piece bikini, for a vital statistic test, claiming that he required an actress to wear a bikini in one in his forthcoming films. I got doubtful and forwarded the PIN number to a filmmaker friend of mine, who confirmed that it was not Ritesh".
Liza also met someone who posed himself as Vikram Bhatt. "Since I know Vikram sir and his (impersonator) style of chatting was too different, so I cross checked with him and found it to be another imposter," said Liza.
These two cases have once again exposed the vulnerability of aspiring actors who could be duped by imposters on tech platforms. A campaign to create awareness among Bollywood wannabees is required so that they do not fall prey to these fraudsters.
