Veteran actress Mumtaaz is one of the most respected film personalities of our country. She started as an actress in supporting roles but soon worked her way to the top. Some time back, there was fake news being circulated about the death of the legendary actress. And now it has been clarified and confirmed that it is nothing less than a hoax. Reacting to the hoax, Mumtaaz told the media and we quote,

Oh! I am hale and hearty. Main abhi zinda hoon. I am glad someone called to check officially. I don’t know why someone is deliberately doing this. Is it some kind of a joke? Last year, it shook my family and everyone called in, worried that I am sick. My near and dear ones were in different parts of the world and it traumatized all of them. In a way, it also troubled me a lot. This year, my daughters, grandkids, sons-in-law, and my husband are all here with me in London. The lockdown has kept us all at home, together, and safe. Of course, I have more relatives around the world who got worried reading what made the rounds last night. Mujhe kyun maarna chahte hain log? Jab waqt aayega to main khud hi chali jaaongi.”

Well, all we can say is we are relieved it’s a hoax. For more updates, stay tuned to IWMBuzz.com
