Shahid Kapoor, with his varied roles in blockbuster movies such as ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Padmaavat,’ was hacked into on Twitter and Instagram in 2018. The Turkish hackers attacked him after the release of ‘Padmaavat,’ posting negative remarks about the portrayal of Alauddin Khilji, who was Turkish. Shahid immediately informed fans upon gaining access again, and the accounts were reinstated. The hackers were not identified, and there were no reports of arrests, but the event brought to the fore the vulnerabilities of celebrities online.
