latest news in India: Reshma Sebastian, a popular fashion influencer from Kerala, took to Instagram on Sunday to clarify that she is not Smriti Singh, the wife of Captain Anshuman Singh. Earlier this month, Singh received the Kirti Chakra that was awarded to her husband posthumously.
Sebastian, who has been mistaken for Smriti Singh by a section of the internet, faced vicious trolling over her posts on fashion.
“This is not Smriti Singh’s (widow of Indian Army soldier Capt Anshuman Singh) page/ig account. Read the profile details and bio first. Please refrain from spreading false information and hate comments,” Sebastian said in her Instagram post.
Sebastian also shared a screenshot of a man’s Facebook post with her photo in which he is trolling the wife of the Army officer.
“This is absurd! Using my identity to spread false information about Smriti Singh. We are going ahead with legal actions,” she said, urging her followers to share with her any more such posts where her photos are being used.
Reshma Sebastian lives in Germany with her husband and daughter, and is currently visiting Kerala.
