Paresh Rawal Death Hoax: The Hera Pheri actor rubbishes death rumours with a witty tweet

News of somebody’s demise is always painful. More so if it is fake. Paresh Rawal is the latest victim of death hoaxes. The actor took to Twitter to rubbish a report claiming that he died today (May 14) at 7 am in morning. He took it in his stride and responded humorously. Refusing his death report, Paresh wrote, “Sorry for the misunderstanding as I slept past 7am …!”

Paresh had battled the novel coronavirus in March. The actor shared a tweet after he tested positive. He wrote, “Unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19. All those that have come in contact with me in the last 10 days are requested to please get themselves tested (sic).” The actor recovered from the virus soon. Before Paresh Rawal, many celebrities have fallen prey to viral death hoaxes in the recent times.
