Reportedly, the incident took place when a guy named Ryaan Ali contacted her on social media asking her email ID to discuss the details of her remuneration for an event. The hacker then asked her to share the verification code and she shared it with him foolishly. The hacker then hacked her Snapchat and contacting her female friends but also downloaded their images and blackmailed them.

The actress, who was recently seen in 'Dil Bole Oberoi' opens up on the same and told a leading daily that, "He first contacted me on a chat platform and asked me for my email id, ostensibly to discuss the details of the event and my remuneration. When he asked me for my verification code, I foolishly shared it with him. After that, he hacked into my Snapchat and started contacting my female friends. He downloaded their skimpily-dressed pictures and started blackmailing them for money."
She further told TOI that, "Though he hasn't contacted me after that, a lot of my friends are still being harassed by this guy. I want to spread awareness regarding this miscreant."
Sehrish is not the first victim as the accounts of many other celebrities are also getting harassed by the hackers who are hacking their accounts. Now, it has to be seen if the actress will get her account back or not and we hope that the hacker will surely get punished.
