Shreya Ghoshal retrieves her X account, singer says ‘All is well’

New Delhi: Popular playback singer Shreya Ghoshal Sunday said she has finally regained access to her X account, which was hacked in February.

The singer, known for songs such as “Bairi Piya”, “Yeh Ishq Haaye”, “Teri Ore”, and “Deewani Mastani”, shared the update with her close to 7 million followers on the microblogging site after almost two months.

“I am back!! I will be talking and writing here often.. Yes, my X account has been in trouble as it got hacked in February. Now I have finally had the help from the @X team after a lot of struggles in establishing proper communication. All is well!! Now I am here,” she wrote on X.

In her latest post, Ghoshal also urged fans to be wary of “weird ads” with articles about her with “very absurd headlines and AI-generated pictures”.

“These are clickbait, which lead to spam / fraudulent links. Please keep reporting these ads. I have no power in putting them down. I have tried my best,” she said.

The 41-year-old singer further appealed to the X authorities to take action against such advertisements.

“These are X ad regulations, which allow such ads to run. Hope they solve these matters soon.”

Last month, Ghoshal in an Instagram post said her X account was hacked February 13 and she has been trying to get it restored ever since.

“I have tried everything in my capacity to reach out to the X team. But there has been no response beyond a few auto-generated responses…

“Please don’t click on any link or believe any message written from that account. They are all spam and fishing links. I will update personally through a video if the account is recovered and is safe,” she had written.
