Aaishvary Thackeray Files Police Complaint After Falling Victim to ₹19,000 Cyber Fraud
In a rising trend of online financial scams, actor and composer Aaishvary Thackeray—grandson of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray has filed a police complaint after money was fraudulently debited from his bank account.
According to reports in The Times of India, the incident took place in the early hours of October 30 at Thackeray’s residence in Andheri, where he resides with his mother, Smita, and grandmother, Kunda. At around 1:30 AM, Thackeray received a text notification indicating that ₹307.82 had been deducted from his account. Eight minutes later, a second message alerted him to a deduction of ₹15,511.98. Four additional unauthorized transactions followed shortly after, bringing the total loss to ₹19,638.15.
Following the unauthorized debits, Thackeray approached the Oshiwara Police Station to report the crime. Officials confirmed that an FIR has been registered against an unknown fraudster under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act. Preliminary investigations indicate that the fraudulent transactions were executed overseas.
Aaishvary Thackeray, 30, has been steadily building a career in the film industry across acting, directing, and music. He initially worked as an assistant director on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani (2015) before making his feature acting debut in a dual role in Anurag Kashyap’s two-part crime comedy Nishaanchi (2025), for which he also contributed as a singer, songwriter, and composer. More recently, he worked as a music programmer and lyricist on tracks for Yash Raj Films’ Alpha (2026).
