10 Bollywood Celebs Who Slammed Media For Fake News

There is no denial from the fact that Bollywood celebrities need media attention for their success and they always intend to share a cordial relationship with the news people.

However, sometimes things get bitter when the same Bollywood stars are dragged into headlines for something that is not true and then starts a fight between the celebs and media.

Bollywood is a very big world which is always active with various news, gossips and sometimes fake news. Several stars like Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Sonakshi Sinha, Nargis Fakhri among others have become victims of fake news which for obvious reasons made the celebs angry.

While, some celebrities expressed their wrath for getting misquoted, some others slammed media for framing false link-ups and break-ups.

With the advent of social networking sites, everyone got an easy and more accessible platform to express their views and so did Bollywood stars.

Many celebrities from B-Town took to Twitter to express their anger on the fake news and made their version of the story available. Though, most of the media houses stick to facts and reliable sources, there are some unwanted exceptions who sometimes unnecessarily sensationalise stuffs or frame a fake news all together.

While, there are several cases of fake news being reported about Bollywood stars, here's a list of 10 Bollywood fake news and the eventual reaction of the concerned celebs...

Picked up yesterday's paper and read this 'fairy tale' of my depression about an intensely personal tragedy. Much worse, it was shamelessly aligned with another person's conflict and both these unrelated stories were made to connect for a sensational effect; deplorable to say the least. Figment of one's imagination now taken to another level, in which there's a dramatic twist about a therapist too! Ludicrous! Obviously, the journo didn't bother to check the veracity of this 'news' with me or any one of my representatives- Appallingly unethical! Classic case of utterly IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM. Is there any accountability? Or is the power of the pen now the terror of the pen? (sic)"
