Farida Jalal Reacts to the Fake News About Her Death With a Meme

Farida Jalal is both amused and annoyed with rumours about her death.

I heard Farida Jalal on the radio this morning laughing about the rumours of her death doing the rounds. The veteran actress had no idea how the rumour even took off and took over social media last night. The 67-year old actress confirmed that she’s hale and hearty.

Yup, this meme is probably how Farida Jalal reacted to all the rumours about her death.

I don’t know where these baseless rumours are coming from. Initially I laughed, but my phone has been ringing for the last 30 minutes and everybody is asking me the same question. It is a bit irritating, I wonder why people spread such rumours.
