Kollywood actor Gayatri Sai appears to be the latest celebrity to fall victim to cybercrime as her number was allegedly shared in adult groups on WhatsApp.
Gayatri Sai, who was introduced as a child artist by veteran film maker in the movie Anjali, took to social media to share the ordeal she faced. She said a pizza delivery allegedly shared her number on adult groups. The actor claimed that the delivery boy was in an inebriated condition when he came with the food, and although she tried to raise the issue with the company, no action was initiated.
