A few days back, Karan Patel took to his Instagram page and shared a few videos and screenshots citing an imposter who has been promising roles for young girls and also a chance of meeting the actor. Karan without knowing about the impostor had promoted him a few years back through a video.

Talking about it, Karan stated to a leading daily, "I recognised that video. I shot for this man a few years ago, as it was his idea to bring in new talent in the industry through his acting institute. I thought it to be a noble idea as that would give aspiring actors a chance to get a foothold in the industry."

He went on to say, "However, I was shocked to learn that the impostor uploaded the video online and has created several WhatsApp profiles with my picture, giving out the impression that it’s me chatting with them. Since then, I have been receiving messages and posts from across the country, informing me about paying to meet me. At first, I thought someone was pulling a prank. When I realised the gravity of this situation, I posted a message to warn my fans about this fraud. What triggered my anger was the fact that he was asking girls to send their nude pictures, promising them roles in a bold show. I can take any bullsh*t, but not this. A woman’s integrity can’t be harmed and I won’t leave him for this. I am in touch with my lawyers for an appropriate legal action against him."

Karan also spoke about his mistake of background checking. He added, "I haven’t met this impostor in person. It was my biggest mistake to shoot the promotional byte without doing a thorough background check. I want to tell my peers to be careful about such frauds."
