Actress Asin prefers to stay away from social media. But recently she discovered that an impostor had made an account in her name on the social micro-blogging site and had started interacting with her fellow actors Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh and many others.

A source close to the actress said, `This confusion arose when Asin's friends like Abhishek Bachhan, Ritesh Deshmukh started calling her up to check if she had joined twitter. She also came to know that a journalist without checking had printed an article quoting the fake twitter ID thinking that it was a genuine profile."


A journo printing without confirming the facts, and that made Asin surprised too. She clarified to her friends and fans that it wasn't her on twitter and said,'I am not on any social networking site. I will make a formal announcement whenever I do decide to join the same.'

The account is being operated by an impostor. Even Riteish Deshmukh also tweeted a clarification.
