Canards and lies spread the fastest in this era of the Internet and especially after the advent of social media. A glimpse of this phenomenon was witnessed by the family members and those close to the veteran actor Shashi Kapoor, who was rumoured to have passed away! The false news of the actor’s death went viral on social media platform and has finally been put to rest by Bollywood’s very own social media buff, actor Rishi Kapoor, who also happens to be Shashi Kapoor’s nephew. Rishi Kapoor tweeted, clarifying all the false rumours about his uncle’s rumoured demise. Take a look at his tweet below:

Condemning the act of spreading such rumours, veteran playback singer Lata Mangeshkar talked to Bollywood Hungama about the effect such rumours have on the people close to the person. “Such rumours only add to the life of the person who is killed by rumour-mongers. I truly wonder who spreads such strange rumours! It must have been someone completely drunk. In this era of quick and bulk communication anyone can send a vicious SMS about anyone and spark off an ugly rumour. Do such people realise how disturbed people get by these rumours?” the portal quoted her as saying.
The youngest son of acting pioneer Prithviraj Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke award at the Prithvi Theatre in 2015.
