Amala Paul had her first big brush with controversy when the actress came to know that she was being impersonated by miscreants on the microblogging site Twitter.
The actress says, 'I always wanted to interact directly with my fans and was therefore interested in having an account on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. However, I never had the time to do so. Then, suddenly, several friends of mine asked me about a Twitter account that had appeared online.
'Initially, I did not react as impersonation on social networking sites has become common these days. But when Siddharth, my co-star in my Telugu film 'Love Failure', pointed out that the imposter was doing a question-answer sessions posing as me, I was furious. I decided enough was enough and swung into action.'
The actress started an account straightaway on Siddharth's insistence.
'I opened an account and Siddharth tweeted about it. He also tweeted about the imposter's account. Within a week, I have over 7,000 people following me on Twitter. I'm happy that I can interact with my fans directly now,' she ends.
