Earlier this week, rumors of veteran actor Mehmood Aslam’s death were doing rounds on social media. His fans and loved ones got pretty upset about the news. After a few hours, the actor took to the gram and refuted the news. In a video message Mehmood Aslam said that “I am well and alive in front of you all. I’m sharing this video to address the fake news about my death which surfaced on social media some time ago.”
The Bulbulay star requested his fans for prayers and asured them that he is doing very well. He urged people to verify the source of such news before circulating it on social media, as it can be a matter of distress for those related to him.
His co-star Ayesha Omer reacted to the news and wrote, “Nahin bhai hamaray Mahmood Sahab bilkul Sahee Salamat hain. May Allah always protect you Moodi Uncle.”
Spreading such fake news can cause distress. People must refrain from spreading fake news and must verify the news before posting it.
