Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor recently encountered a peculiar problem with her LinkedIn account, which was flagged as fake by the platform. Despite having a premium and verified profile, Kapoor found herself unable to access her account, and it was also invisible to others.
On Saturday, August 23, 2025, Kapoor took to Instagram to express her frustration and appeal to LinkedIn for assistance. In her Instagram story, she wrote, "Dear LinkedIn @linkedin_in, I'm unable to access my own account because LinkedIn believes it's fake. Can someone assist me? The account is set up, premium, and verified, yet no one can see it". She further added, "I want to begin sharing my entrepreneurial journey, but getting the account operational has turned into a journey itself".
The incident appears to be a result of a misunderstanding within LinkedIn's verification or moderation system. Reports suggest that her account, although verified and intended for sharing her entrepreneurial ventures, was mistakenly flagged and subsequently blocked. Kapoor is co-founder of Palmonas.
Kapoor's light-hearted appeal has resonated with her fans and followers, who have shown their support across various social media platforms. As of now, LinkedIn has not yet issued an official response addressing Kapoor's plea or clarifying the status of her account.
This situation highlights the challenges that even prominent figures can face with social media platform verification processes and the importance of efficient customer support. While it remains unclear why Kapoor's account was flagged, the incident underscores the need for social media platforms to have robust and accurate verification systems in place to prevent such issues.
On the professional front, Shraddha Kapoor is set to collaborate with Laxman Utekar, the director of "Chhavaa," for a period drama. The film, produced by Dinesh Vijan of "Stree" fame, is expected to commence shooting in November and is slated for release in 2026. Additionally, Kapoor has signed a multi-film deal with producer Ektaa Kapoor, with reports suggesting that their first project will reunite Shraddha with Aditya Roy Kapoor, her co-star from "Aashiqui 2".
