It all started when Pooja Hedge’s Instagram account posted a photo of Samantha Akkineni on her stories and captioned it, “I don’t find her pretty at all.”

Moments later, the Housefull 4 star announced on social media that her account was hacked, and after help from her digital team, it was restored.

The incident did not go down with Samantha Akkineni fans, and within no time #PoojaApologizeSamantha trended on Twitter. Pooja Hegde fans were not those to keep quiet and they trended #WeSupportPoojaHegde.

Amid the fans going at each other, an alleged chat of Samantha, Chinmayi Sripaada, and a media personality went viral. In the chat that allegedly took place in the comments on the media personality's Instagram post and which has been deleted now, the participants are joking around the word ‘hack’, like ‘what the hack’, which makes Samantha term it ‘evil.

Chinmayi quips that her account isn’t it hacked. Samantha then wrote that all jokes on hacking are suspended till further notice. The actor then stated that it was a ‘sensitive topic’ for those who were or were not hacked.
