From Ranbir Kapoor to Ariana Grande : Meet the Bollywood and Hollywood stars who secretly stalk fans on Instagram

Sometimes you just want anonymity, especially online. But while the rich and famous have many things, that’s one thing they really lack. To make up for being in the public eye all the time, some stars have come up with a cunning solution – fake profiles on social media that allow them to do normal things their fans do, namely stalk other celebrities. From singer Ariana Grande to ‘Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner, here’s a look at stars with secret accounts on social media.

You may think Ranbir Kapoor isn’t much of the social media buff, but you would be so wrong. He not only has a secret account on Instagram, but reportedly knows enough to tutor Katrina Kaif on the medium as well. In fact, Kaif confessed on Arbaaz Khan’s celebrity talk program ‘Pinch’ how he was the one who first introduced her to Instagram. At a recent event in Mumbai, he also confirmed fans’ suspicions when he admitted to following Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Kaif and Ranveer Singh.

Hollywood star Matt Damon has finally admitted to having a secret Instagram account, which he uses for keeping up with his friends. “I have 76 followers and I’ve done 40 posts since 2013," he told the magazine GQ in a recent interview.

Not really a secret account, Ariana Grande manages her pet’s Instagram page. The star’s pet piglet, Piggy Smallz has already achieved Instagram stardom with over half a million followers and counting.

So Sophie Turner is really into sausages apparently – she has an Instagram account dedicated to the meat product where she rates different kinds. Follow the handle @sophiessausagereviews to know what she really thinks.

Bella Hadid’s equally stylish, blonde alter ego on Instagram is under the name Rebekkah Harajuku. The secret account debuted in April 2018, documenting the model’s time in Japan. However, the account has been silent this then. We hope the supermodel will start posting again on the account soon!

Who doesn’t know the ever-charming Riverdale star Cole Sprouse? He is also popularly known as ‘the ultimate social networking savage” among his female fan following. Sprouse earned that title for a reason. Did you know that Cole has a secret Instagram profile where he deliberately takes his savagery to another level? This ‘secret’ account of his features images of his fans attempting to take his photos secretly. To everyone who stalks Cole Sprouse… he is watching...

Although fans were sure that Demi Lovato had a secret Instagram account after being supplied with two pieces of strong proof, it was the celebrity Instagram account that was not supposed to be found. The username corresponded to the singer's birthdate of August 20, 1992. Demi also followed the account before it was made public, along with other of her celebrity pals, like Lauren Jauregui and Nick Jonas.

Singer, songwriter and idol Justin Beiber had a secret Instagram profile. Fans of the stars found out in 2019 when the account featured his experience at a live Coachella event.
