Shreyas Talpade Reacts to the Hoax

I’ve a daughter who goes to school, and imagine if she reads news like this and gets affected! I saw the post in the afternoon but chose to ignore it. But since then, I’ve gotten many calls from my well-wishers; hence, I will choose to bring it to the public’s attention with an official statement.”
Concerns Over Social Media Misuse
Shreyas further highlighted the potential consequences of such posts, saying, “However, the point is that I will share this post now on social media, and the guy who shared it will become famous, and then suddenly, he will appear in ‘Bigg Boss’, so I don’t want that to happen. Thanks for the concern, hope people will understand that everything posted on social media is not in good taste and learn how to use the medium.”
