As we dive deeper into the webspace, we have seen fake news skyrocketing. But sometimes it takes a comical turn.
We have read multiple fake celebrity death news over the past years. The most recent one is the one about director Anurag Kashyap‘s death. The scandalous personality Kamaal R Khan‘s page ‘KRK Box Office’ posted on Twitter about the director’s death on Sunday night.
The tweet called him a great storyteller who will be missed.
#RIP #AnuragKashyap! He was really a great storyteller! We will always miss you sir! pic.twitter.com/LiMHyJuXEw

However, Anurag Kashyap is well and has not passed away. Kashyap retorted on Monday morning with a sarcastic tweet about how Yamraj brought him back home today. He also took a dig on KRK by talking about how he has repeatedly called for boycotting the director’s films.
कल यमराज के दर्शन हुए .. आज यमराज खुद घर वापस छोड़ के गए । बोले – अभी तो और फ़िल्में बनानी हैं तुम्हें । तुम फ़िल्म नहीं बनाओगे और बेवक़ूफ़/भक्त उसका boycott नहीं करेंगे , तो उनका जीवन सार्थक नहीं होगा। उनको सार्थकता मिले इसलिए वापस छोड़ गये मुझे। https://t.co/fHuZN6YQ5n

Apparently, the KRK Box Office confused Anurag Kapoor with Anurag Kashyap. Anurag Kapoor passed away. The team also posted an apology on Twitter.
We are very sorry that one of our staff misunderstood the name of #AnuragKapoor with #AnuragKashyap and published a wrong news about Anurag Kashyap Ji. RIP #AnuragKapoor Ji! 👏 https://t.co/8qIzLYaw5w
