It is traumatic to go through any sort of death happening. However, when a celebrity faces a death hoax, in which he was reported to have died, it comes as a shocking scenario for the person who is still alive and sees all of the mayhem around him. Such a thing happened to the Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. Yes, when SRK was shooting for the film Zero, a France-based news report claimed that Shah Rukh Khan died along with 7 others in a plane crash. At the same time, a tragic accident had happened on the set of Zero which had left SRK in shock. However, when the news of his death made news, SRK had a tough time handling it. However, he replied to it in a funny and witty manner. A report on koimoi.com talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.

In the reports, the news channel used words like investigation and gave a very clear report about the plane and what caused the crash. The article seemed too real and everyone started enquiring about the same with the actor and his team.

The above-mentioned article is from El Pais TV and they carried a ‘breaking news’ story which read, “Tributes have poured in for Indian film actor, producer and television presenter Shah Rukh Khan after he was killed along with seven others when a private jet he was travelling in crashed. It is believed to have been caused by turbulent weather. He was travelling in a Gulfstream G550 jet with his personal assistant and others to Paris for a meeting. The death of Shah Rukh Khan has stunned the Indian diaspora worldwide.”

Soon after the news went viral, Shah Rukh Khan in his own way decided to reply to his death hoax and accident reports on the set of Zero in a most hilarious way. Taking to his Twitter, King Khan wrote, “TGIF! Survived the week inspite of a plane crash, fatal accident on sets & yet another title of Imtiaz Ali film!”

Certainly, Phew!!

Meanwhile, a source close to Shah Rukh Khan told Mumbai Mirror, “This isn’t the first time that Shah Rukh Khan has been at the receiving end of a death hoax. But this time, the gravity of the situation was worse since the news made it to a WhatsApp group of Mumbai’s top cops. It had already been picked up by legitimate French and Indian websites. SRK’s team had to field calls all day.”

So much for a fake news!!
