Actor Siddharth Malhotra came out on Instagram last night, July 3rd, reacting to a fraud incident his fan went through. One of Sid’s fans in the U.S got duped of Rs. 50 lakh by a fan page who allegedly used Sidharth’s name to claim money. When Sidharth got to know this, he immediately made an announcement on social media, clearing the air and cautioning people to not fall in the trap.
Sid is very social on Instagram. He posts his life updates, and pictures with loved ones on the platform quite often. Last night, he chose the platform to alert his fans and requested to not fall in the trap.
His post read, “It has been brought to my attention that certain fraudulent activities/scams have been circulating on various social media platforms, allegedly claiming to be my fans and seeking money. I urge all of you to exercise caution when dealing with such matters. If you receive any suspicious requests, report them to the appropriate authorities and avoid spreading false information.”
While some fans mistook if he came out with Kiara’s pregnancy announcement, others hailed his reaction with comments like ‘Stay Strong’, ‘Thankyou for informing us’, ‘We respect You’, on the same.
What Was The Entire Matter?
This incident came into the spotlight after a user on X (formerly Twitter), named Minoo shared her story of being falsified with claims of Sid needing money from his fans. The user wrote, tagging the man himself , “My name is Minoo Vasudevan from USA.There is a serious incident you all should know about admins Aliza & Husna Parveen, @sidmalhotra.updates. Between October 2023 to December 2023, they stole 50 lakhs from me. Between October 18th-24th 2023, they stole 10.5k rupees from my friend in the UK,Maariya. “ User also mentioned that she had not all, but some evidence regarding the same.
Admins of the fanpage @sidmalhotra.updates allegedly claimed that Sidharth’s life was “in danger” and it is because of his wife Kiara Advani. They even said that the actor is being threatened to be killed and that Kiara has done some “black magic”, the victim of which is the actor himself. With the request of “Save Sid”, the admins looted Minoo with lakhs of money which is devastating.

Another user who was scammed with 10.5k rupees also took to X, posting Whatsapp screenshots of how she got cheated. Maariya claimed, “Honestly, my money was stolen for the wrong reasons… I DO want it back. I know I initially claimed not to, but Sid… Please ask these women to repay the money that was stolen, if at all feasible. More than anything, I want justice served for each and every innocent fan that these ladies have deceived in Sidharth Malhotra’s name.”
Seeing a bunch of comments, Sid reacted to this incident last night and asked the respected authorities to take care of it. He ended his post with wishing their fans the best. The actor was last seen in the film ‘Yodha’ and has done several hits like “Shershaah ”, Mission Majnu, Marjaavan and many more. Sidharth Malhotra tied knots with actress Kiara Advani in February 2023.
