SURVIVED: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan Has A Witty Reply On Death Rumours

  • SURVIVED: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan Has A Witty Reply On Death Rumours

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan prefers taking everything with a pinch of humour -- and he did the same following the death hoax around him.

 

Earlier this week, the 51-year-old became a victim to a death hoax when an European news network titled El Pais TV reportedly announced a 'breaking news' that Shah Rukh was "killed along with seven others when a private jet he was travelling in crashed".

 

The "Fan" star had also escaped an accident on the sets of his upcoming film being helmed by Aanand L Rai on Tuesday when a portion of the ceiling fell off.

 

Shah Rukh on Friday took to Instagram and Twitter, where he shared a photograph of himself holding his head. A caption on the photograph read: "Phew".

 

"Survived the week in spite of a plane crash, fatal accident on sets and yet another title of Imtiaz Ali film," he wrote further.

 
 

"This isn't the first time that Shah Rukh Khan has been at the receiving end of a death hoax. But this time, the gravity of the situation was worse since the news made it to a WhatsApp group of Mumbai's top cops. It had already been picked up by legitimate French and Indian websites. SRK's team had to field calls all day," a source told Mumbai Mirror.

 

Earlier this week, TV actor Shweta Tiwari was victim of a death hoax. She had to deny her death rumours.

 

"I don't feel like reacting to such rumours now. Believe it or not, this is the third time people have declared me dead and I have become used to it.

 

Abhinav was the first one to call me up; he was nervous while speaking on phone. I told him to relax and just ignore such baseless rumors. I am very much alive and happily enjoying the evening with my children," Shweta Tiwari told Daily Bhaskar.
