    Sometimes, being a fan can be a harrowing experience. Instead of getting a coveted autograph from your favourite star, you can end up losing a fortune. This is what happened to an avowed Sidharth Malhotra fan.

    A woman named Minoo Vasudeva was duped of Rs 50 lakhs by two individuals who claimed to be the admins of a fan page dedicated to the ‘Ek Villain’ star. The two fraudsters named Aliza and Husna Parveen falsely claimed that the actor's life was in danger. The victim stated that these two told her that the actor's wife and his ‘Shershaah’ co-star Kiara Advani were blackmailing him and had forced him into a marriage with her.

    She further alleged that the accused had told her that Advani had performed black magic on Malhotra and had cheated on him with her co-stars.

    “Aliza told me fake stories: Sid's life was in danger because of Kiara. She forced him to marry her by threatening to kill his family after he rejected her sexual advances during Shershaah. Also, she exploited him physically, sexually, & financially along with her goons, Karan Johar, Shashank Khaitan, Apoorva Mehta & Manish Malhotra. Additionally, she cheated on him with them & all her other co-stars & did black magic on him," wrote Vasudeva on X.

    She further added, "Furthermore, she & the Dharma crew took full control of his bank account by threatening to kill his family if he didn't give them his bank password & signed cheque books. Aliza asked me to help her 'save Sid'. I obliged, and Aliza introduced me to Sid's fake PR team member, Deepak Dubey (@magical_master_of_mumbai). He, in turn, introduced me to an informer on Kiara's team, Radhika (@sidharthdefender). They would tell me inside info on Sid & Kiara's every move."

    Vasudeva said that she paid the trio a lump sum of money each week to have an opportunity to speak with the actor. Also, I bought Sid 3 gift hampers, which I found out were photoshopped. Apart from this, expenses were made to save Sid from death or torture. All this led to a loss of 50 lakhs," she revealed.

    Sid and Kiara tied the knot in a grand wedding in Jaisalmer, last year.
