Lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar's X (formerly known as Twitter) has been hacked. On Sunday, July 28, he informed his followers about it on his X handle. Akhtar wrote that the post on his handle about the Indian team participating in the Paris 2024 Olympics, was not put by him but was posted by the hackers.

The 79-year-old lyricist said it was "totally harmless" but he had not sent it. He emphasised that he is in the process of reporting the hack to the concern authorities.

He wrote on X,'' My X ID is hacked. There is a message ostensibly from my account about our Indian team for Olympics. It is totally harmless but not sent by me. We are in the process of complaining to the concern authorities in X (sic).”
