Bigg Boss 13's Mahira Sharma Accused Of Forging Dadasaheb Phalke Film Festival Certificate

Fun fact: Bigg Boss contestants can't live peacefully inside or outside the house.

Case in point? Bigg Boss 13's Mahira Sharma has been accused by the organizers of the coveted Dadasaheb Phalke International Fim Festival of forging an appreciation certificate.

Here's the breakdown of what happened.

On February 20th, 11:36 PM, Mahira Sharma who was attending the event posted an Instagram story to her 1.3 million followers showcasing that she has received a certificate of appreciation at the DPIFF award ceremony for being ¡°The Most Fashionable Contestant Of Bigg Boss 13.¡±

However, DPIFF¡¯s official team has issued an open statement saying that this said certificate has not been issued by any team member of DPIFF team or the associates involved and is going to be considered as a forged certificate.

The statement reads, "This is an immoral and distasteful attempt by Mahira Sharma to gain publicity and personal benefits by counterfeiting a very reputed award and showcasing her name on to a falsified category has created irreversible damage to the brand¡¯s image and reputation."

The statement ended with the DPIFF¡¯s team issuing an intimation letter to Mahira Sharma asking her to take down all the misleading PR activities including removal of blog posts, articles by any news or publishing agency that covered how she won the certificate because the reality is that she did not. Failing to do so will result in legal proceedings against her.

We hope this matter gets resolved for the actress soon and she can continue working without getting dragged into such controversies.
