That's not me asking for money! :Sushmita Sen

Says the actress, whose impersonator has been asking people for cash and cheques online

Sushmita Sen who is by now used to being impersonated on theu00a0social networking websitesu00a0has now woken up to a horror beyond the expected.

An impersonator of the actress onu00a0Facebook has actually started asking foru00a0 moneyu00a0in her name foru00a0charity.

Sen is far from amused, "It's not a game. My impersonator has even opened an account https://www.sushmita-sen.com/u00a0where charitableu00a0Facebooku00a0participants can donate money."

The actress who admittedly is not net-savvy, is appalled by the liberties that are being taken, "I've been smiling a little indulgently at all these fake Sushmita Sens on Facebook and Twitter.

I thought as long as they were not harming me, let them have fun. But now when someone decides to open a charitable account on my behalf it's time to get up and do something to stop people."

Mr Fraud
Sushmita got to know of the imposter's monetary maneuvers only when friends called to ask how many zeroes they should put on their cheques.

"I was zapped! I was like... huh! I do love giving to charitable causes, but not in this tacky way.

Whoever has the nerve to ask for money and open a website for the purpose trusted in my charitable instincts a bit too much."

The actress wants to make it clear that she is in no way associated with the Sushmita Sen asking people for money online, "Let me make it very clear.

I am not onu00a0 Facebook, Twitter or anything. And I'm certainly not into asking for money for charity on the internet. Hey guys, that's not me!"
