Shah Rukh Khan becomes victim to a death hoax

Many actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Fareeda Jalal have been victims to death hoaxes in the past. Last night itself, news about Marathi actor Ashok Saraf's death, who has been a part of many Bollywood movies like 'Singham', 'Jodi No. 1', 'Yes Boss' and 'Gupt: The Hidden Truth', surfaced as well.

And now, the latest member to join the list of victims to death hoaxes is none other than Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. European News Network, El Pais TV, reported, “Tributes have poured in for Indian film actor, producer and television presenter Shah Rukh Khan after he was killed along with seven others when a private jet he was travelling in crashed."

"It is believed to have been caused by turbulent weather. He was traveling in a Gulfstream G550 jet with his personal assistant and others to Paris for a meeting. The death of Shah Rukh Khan has stunned the Indian diaspora worldwide,” added the report.

This did create chaos amongst the Indian fans, but luckily the report was proven wrong shorty after it was reported. This isn’t the first time that the actor has become a victim to a death hoax, but this time it was picked up by legitimate French and Indian websites which made the news reach a wider audience within a very short span of time.
