Veteran Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal took to Twitter to react to a post that spread rumours of his death.
The actor shared screenshot of a Twitter page that has his photo with a condolence message in Hindi, announcing that “Paresh Rawal ji, a member of the film industry has passed away at 7am on 14th May, 2021”.
Reacting to the hoax with humour, the 65-year-old actor tweeted: “Sorry for the misunderstanding as I slept past 7am…!”
The actor’s fans, not surprised with internet spreading rumours, also shared their take on the situation.
“Action should be taken against this page. I can’t tolerate such kinds of joke. You are my fav sir. I pray god this day will never come,” commented a fan.
“Yes, this is bad in taste,” suggested another fan.
“Some respect must be shown to all the living legends. They can’t have more likes n share (asTRP) by announcing someone’s death. Not acceptable in civilised Society,” tweeted another fan.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Rawal will next be seen in “Hungama 2”, sequel to the 2003 film “Hungama”. The film also stars Shilpa Shetty, Meezaan Jaaferi and Pranitha Subhas.
