The influencer also refused to believe that it was a hacked account as the conversation has been going on for a long and verified accounts get retrieved quicker on reporting.

Anjali told the national daily that she is aware that the hacker is asking for money from people, misleading many to think she is fooling them. But she said she is trying to inform as many people as possible that it's not her.
