‘I don’t have the power to stop them’: Pain and warning hidden in Shreya Ghoshal’s voice

‘I don’t have the power to stop them’: Pain and warning hidden in Shreya Ghoshal’s voice

Mumbai, 7 April 2025: Singer Shreya Ghoshal, who rules millions of hearts with her velvety voice, was recently facing a different kind of trouble. In late February, her social media X (formerly Twitter) account was hacked. After nearly a month of struggle, she got her account back on Sunday, April 6. But with this relief, Shreya expressed a concern, which has become a serious issue not only for her, but for many celebrities and their fans.

First message after return

After recovering the account, Shreya wrote in her first post, “I am back. Now I will post occasionally like before. My account was hacked in February. After a lot of trouble, with the help of the X team, I was able to get it back. Now everything is fine.” Her relief was clearly visible in this message, but her post after this revealed a deeper concern.

Shreya warned her fans, “You may see many ads on X, which are about me or stars like me. Their titles are absurd and the pictures are created by AI. If you see anything like this, report it immediately. I do not have the power to stop them, but I am trying.” This statement of hers was not just an appeal, but also expressed the helplessness that she is feeling in front of this digital challenge.

A web of scams and regret of helplessness

Shreya further revealed that these advertisements are not just promotions, but part of a scam. She wrote, “These ads are scams. They are presented with breaking news or attractive headlines, so that people click and become victims of fraud. I tried to block them, but it was not possible.” This statement of hers brings to the fore the despair that is troubling even the stars in this era of technology. She also demanded action from the X officials and said, “Not only me, many celebrities are facing this problem. I request my fans to be careful and not click on these ads.” Shreya’s message was an effort to create awareness for her fans, so that no one becomes a victim of such fraud.

The challenge of the digital world

Shreya’s experience highlights a bitter truth of today’s social media era. Getting the account back after hacking was a big victory for her, but the growing trend of fake ads and AI-generated content became a new trouble for her. Tech expert Ravi Sharma says, “The use of AI has now become a weapon for scammers. It has become easy to create fake ads using the pictures and names of celebrities. Social media platforms will have to take strict steps to stop this.”

This helplessness hidden in Shreya’s post not only reflects her personal struggle, but also raises a big question—are digital platforms taking enough steps to protect their users? Her fan Mansi Gupta said, “If a singer like Shreya is facing such problems, what will common people do? This is really a matter of concern.”

Shreya Ghoshal’s warning is not just for her fans, but for everyone who uses social media. Her post is not only spreading awareness, but also shows how much she cares about her fans. A fan commented, “Shreya ma’am has a big heart as sweet as her voice. Thanks for warning us.”

Way forward

Shreya may have got her account back, but her fight is not over yet. Her appeal against fake ads and scams is a challenge to X and other platforms. Will this issue remain just her personal complaint, or will it be the beginning of a big change in the digital world? Only time will tell. For now, Shreya’s post has become a shield for her fans and a mirror of the truth of social media.
