Reason Behind why Nagarjuna doesnot take photos on phone

Nagarjuna participated in the Suraksha Ka Tiranga Cyber Awareness Programme by Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) in Hyderabad and during the event he shared startling details as to why he doesnot use phone to take photos.

He said, “I carry a phone, but I am always worried about who will hack into it. I actually change my password every 15 days. I change my WiFi password at home every month or every two months because they can hack into it. I really don’t take any photographs on my phone. There are no photographs. (laughs) So, being a celebrity, I have to be careful about all of this. But I can imagine what they can do to an innocent senior citizen.”

He continued, “Around 4-5 years ago, I got a call from someone posing as a bank officer and saying, ' Would you like me to invest in stocks and equities? Usually, my relationship manager from my bank calls, but this was another call that came. He was so good at marketing this thing, and finally, when I was not giving in, he kept trying to persuade me and called me smart.” N

He spoke about digital arrest and said, “I have also received such calls from people claiming to be from customs and that I have sent a package to Iran,” he said, adding, “They told me I will get a call from the police department. Then a call comes about a suspicious package. You get another call saying there are narcotics in it. When you say you didn’t do it, they try to keep you on call at home. Luckily, this relative called the Cyber Crime department.”
