Seeking answers on the issue, Anupam Kher wrote, “Dear X! Even though my account has been restored I was surprised to see it locked. I have been on this platform since September 2007.

He called the situation ‘absurd' and tagging Elon Musk posed the question, “Would love to know which post of mine did violate your rules? Thanks! @elonmusk”.
Why was Anupam Kher's X account locked?
In the post shared by the actor, he also attached a screenshot of the message prompt received from X justifying his account being locked.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, X will remove the identified material."
