Shagun took to Instagram to alert people about online scams and shared an incident which happened with her yesterday.

In the video shared, Shagun can be seen saying,”Please watch this video till the end, because I want you guys to be safe. There’s a new scam happening which was about to happen to me yesterday.”

Talking about the entire incident, Shagun said, “I received a call from an unknown number and the person said to me that I owe my dad 12,000 Rs. He said,’Unka number nahi lg raha hai or na hi gpay chal raha hai to kya mai apke account me 10,000 or 2000 karke 2 transactions kr du.’ I was busy at that time, so I said, okay you can do. First he asked me if I received 10,000, then he asked me if I received 2000. I told him that oh no you have sent 20,000 instead of 2000. So, he said please return me 18,000 on this gpay number. I suddenly sensed something fishy and disconnected the call. Post that, I contacted my parents and asked them if someone owed money to them and they refused. When I checked the message again carefully, I got to know that it wasn’t from the bank, in fact, it was from that person’s number only.’

Lastly, she said, “The fraudster was calling me again and again and I warned him about giving his contact to the cops if he contacted me again.”

Work front

Professionally, Shagun started her career with the pool Star Plus show 'Kuch Toh Hai Tere Mere Darmiyaan.'

She was also seen in the television shows - 'Ishk Par Zor Nahi,' 'Sasural Genda Phool 2,' 'Harphoul Mohini,' 'Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi,' 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon 3,' 'Tu Aashiqui,' 'Laal Ishq' and 'Paramavatar Shri Krishna.'
