Comedian-actor Vir Das recently took to social media to report a distressing experience with the delivery platform Zepto. He alleged that he received a counterfeit Apple Watch, despite paying approximately Rs 50,000 for the item. The urgency was high as the watch was needed for a film shoot.

Responding to the accusations, Zepto announced that they take such concerns seriously. They have initiated an investigation by arranging a reverse pickup of the product, which is their standard procedure for high-value items. The company emphasized the importance of OTP sharing only after checking package integrity and confirmed the case is under review.
