Celebrities often become victims of social media hacking and Anumpama's Vanraj aka Sudhanshu Pandey wasn't spared either As Sudhanshu started enjoying the perils of social media space but then came to an interruption. Sudhanshu's account not just got hacked but also got deactivated too. The actor even revealed how shocked he was, ''I got quite active on it and used to post different and sensible stuff and in no time I managed to gain some 86k followers and was expecting it to reach 100k by end of this week. However, this happened. I am already in touch with a Facebook person and they are trying to resolve this. I just hope that it gets activated again."
