Salim
Kumar,
the
next
victim
of
death
hoax,
made
it
clear
that
he
is
all
alive
and
working
on
his
directorial
venture.
The
National
Award
winning
actor
was
rumoured
to
be
dead
a
few
times
earlier
also.
The
rumours
regarding
Salim
Kumar
has
been
doing
rounds
since
last
few
months.
Yesterday,
some
leading
online
journals
reported
that
Salim
Kumar
passed

due
to
liver
cirrhosis.
Along
with
the
actor,
his
close
friends
from
the
movie
industry,
including
actor-lyricist
Nadhirshah
reacted
violently
to
the
death
hoax.
Earlier,

was
hospitalised
due
to
problems
related
to
diabetes.
But
some
media
reported

liver
cirrhosis.
But
later,
Salim
Kumar
himself
revealed
that
he
is
perfectly
alright
and
criticized
media
for
spreading
such
baseless
rumors.
He
funnily
quoted
that
he
is
the
only
Malayalam
celebrity
who
has
such
a
huge
number
of
death
hoax
to
his
credit.
Salim

period
had
gone
viral
a
few
months
back
and
it
was
reported
