Shetty’s Phone Number Distributed on Web
November 6, 2007
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has been forced to change her cell phone number after a fan distributed it in a mass e-mail, Sky News said Tuesday.
Shetty, who is touring England with the musical Miss Bollywood, has been flooded with calls and text messages since the number hit the Web.
Some want to date her, some want to just listen to her voice, some want to inquire if her musical ‘Miss Bollywood’ is doing fine, said publicist Dale Bhagwagar. And some call just to check if they are speaking to the real Shilpa Shetty.
Mumbai police are investigating the incident, officer Sushil Joshi told Sky News, adding the fan could face a six-month jail term for harassment and illegally using the Internet to publicize a private phone number.
