Fans commented with concern, with some wondering if the account was banned instead. “Are u sure this notification is shown when it's hacked? Cos usually you are unable to log in with your password, but here it seems like your account can’t be found,” read one comment. Another added, “All comedians are getting banned yeh tow hona hi tha sir (this was bound to happen).”

Recently, singer Shreya Ghoshal and actor Swara Bhasker's X accounts were also hacked and restored later.
