The most recent death hoax that shocked all was that of Farida Jalal. What started off as an unverified statement on the social media escalated so quickly that the veteran actress had to issue a statement to the media. Farida Jalal said, "I am hale and hearty. I don’t know where these baseless rumours are coming from. Initially, I laughed, but from last 30 mins my phone have been constantly ringing and everybody is asking the same question. It’s a bit irritating, I wonder why people spread such rumours." by Ritambhara Dixit
