Ahmedabad-based online fitness trainer Sapna Vyas Patel is annoyed that she has been mistaken for Assam actor-turned MLA Angoorlata Deka.
A photo of hers' working out in T-shirt and track pants went viral recently with people sharing them thinking they were of Angoorlata Deka.
While Angoorlata Deka has been mum about the sexist attention she has received, Sapna Vyas Patel has spoken out against it.
She told Mid Day that those sharing photos should verify them before clicking on the button.
Sapna Vyas Patel runs an online fitness consultancy and also has an app. She is a social media star in her own right, with over four lakh following her on Instagram. It was her personal story on how she lost 33 kgs in a year that gave her the buzz and the social media following.
It is not clear how Sapna Vyas Patel came to stand in for Angoorlata Deka. She thinks she was picked as she is very well known on social media.
A Punjab paper seems to have taken lead in identifying Sapna Vyas Patel as Angoorlata Deka setting off an online stampede.
