It was recently actor Prithviraj who took to his social media handle to alert fans about the fake account that impersonates him. However, after the miscreant who created the fake account continued impersonating him and engaged in several audio chats, Prithviraj exposed the fake account and the person behind it.

Sharing a screenshot, Prithviraj wrote, "Claiming to be me on social media is one thing. Claiming to be me, mimicking my voice, and using an ID that closely resembles my insta handle is all together criminal. Please stop this. I AM NOT ON CLUBHOUSE!"

After the actor's post went viral, Sooraj, who is identified to be a mimicry artist apologized to the actor through his Instagram handle. Sooraj's plea was that Prithviraj should accept his apology and clarified that he did not create the account with any bad intention.

Accepting Sooraj apologies Prithviraj penned a lengthy note on how online crime is an unforgivable mistake. "Dear Sooraj. It’s alright. I understand that it was all meant to be a harmless joke. But I hope by now you’ve realised that something like this could have very serious repercussions. At one point, I believe more than 2500 people were listening in to you and that a good majority of them thought it was me speaking. I had repeated calls and messages from many people in and outside the industry, and it was imperative that I put an immediate stop to it. I’m glad you admit that it was a mistake. Mimicry is a wonderful art form and I’m sure you know many of Malayalam cinema’s all time greats have found their way into the industry from the world of mimicry. Dream big, work hard and never stop learning. I hope you have an illustrious career ahead and wish you the very best.

PS: To all my well wishers and others, I DO NOT condone online abuse. So please stop it. And once again..I’M NOT ON CLUBHOUSE.," wrote Prithviraj.
