Veteran screenwriter-lyricist Javed Akhtar has informed his followers that his X handle has been hacked.

He warned netizens against believing a rather "harmless" message about the Indian team for the ongoing Olympics, stating that it was not posted by him.

Interestingly, Akhtar shared the information about his X handle being hacked on the microblogging site itself.

He said the matter will be taken up with the concerned authorities.

"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," he wrote.

The 79-year-old, who actively uses the microblogging site to express his views on a range of topics, shared the update on his page on Sunday night.
