In the age of hi-tech gadgets and latest information technology a hoax can spread as swiftly as a truth. Talented actor and Singer Ayushmann Khurrana knows this better than anybody as he has been forced to confirm on micro-blogging site Twitter that he is alive after becoming the latest victim of a death hoax. The Nautanki Saala! star tweeted: I have been hearing some bizarre rumors about my demise. RIP rumor mongers. Thanks!
A report of Ayushmann having died in a snowboarding accident in Switzerland was published by Global Associated News, a website front for fakeawish.com that allows users to generate hoax death headlines for the celebrity of their choice. Celebrities who have previously died on Global Associated News include Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman, pop star Rihanna and even our very own Amitabh Bachchan. Ah ...These acts clearly indicates the rise in global unemployment rates...!
