Why do celebrity death rumours spread so fast?
Celebrity death hoaxes are unfortunately common in the digital age. From Amitabh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan, several Indian film icons have previously been declared dead in fabricated online stories. Such claims often use doctored screenshots of news outlets or misleading headlines to gain traction, relying on the emotional impact they create among fans.
In Kajal Aggarwal’s case, the road accident hoax highlighted how quickly misinformation can reach millions before being corrected. Experts warn that such incidents bring to light the urgent need for fact-checking and media responsibility.
Kajal Aggarwal’s recent and upcoming films
On the career front, Kajal Aggarwal continues to remain busy with projects across industries. She was recently seen in Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa, playing the role of Goddess Parvathi alongside Akshay Kumar’s Lord Shiva. In Bollywood, she appeared in Sikandar with Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna.
Her upcoming slate includes Indian 3 with Kamal Haasan and, reportedly, Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, where she is expected to portray Mandodari, Ravana’s wife, opposite Yash.
