A woman, named Anna Rowe, recently faced a severe heart break, and Said Ali Khan was, somewhere, the reason behind it!

Basically, this 44-year-old lady was duped by a married British man named Antony Ray, on Tinder, who used Saif Ali Khan's photo as his profile picture.

The hoaxer, a high-flying City lawyer, kept their relationship on for 14 months and over that period of time, repeatedly asked the teaching assistant to marry him.

Anna claimed that he used her like a 'personal hotel with benefits', while making her think he was committed to a loving relationship.

Anna, from Rough Common in Kent, said: "He broke my trust, took away my right to choose. I did not consent to having a relationship with a married man, or a man who was actively having relations with multiple women simultaneously," the Metro quoted her as saying.

Although he used Saif's photo initially, he later sent Anna real photos of himself and the two met up in person on November 3, 2015. However, later she found out his real intention.

After speaking publicly about her ordeal, Anna started a petition to bring change in the law making catfishing illegal and force anyone with an online dating profile to use their real name.

Catfishing is the process of using fake IDs and pictures on social networking platforms to lure or dupe someone.
