Javed Akhtar's X account hacked, fake tweet posted about Indian Olympics team

Javed Akhtar, like many Bollywood celebs, is an active social media user. The senior Bollywood lyricist frequently uses his X (previously Twitter) account to share his thoughts on important topics. He also uses it to communicate with his audience.

Javed Akhtar says his tweet on Olympics for team India was not by him                        Unfortunately, his X account was hacked yesterday, and a tweet was sent from the B-town celebrity's official profile. On July 28, he published a post indicating that his account had been hijacked.

On the evening of July 28, Javed Akhtar used his X account to notify his admirers that his account had been compromised. The screenwriter, lyricist, and poet also revealed that a post about the Indian squad at the upcoming Paris Olympics 2024 was not made by him, but rather by some hackers. It appears that the tweet in question has been removed.
