In
the
last
few
weeks,
many
celebrities
like
Tabassum
and
Lucky
Ali
have
fallen
prey
to
death
hoax
amid
the
looming
COVID-19
pandemic.
Recently,
actor
Paresh
Rawal
also
found
himself
in
a
similar
situation
as
a
Twitter
user
claimed
that
the
Hungama
actor
had
passed
away
at
7
am
on
Friday
(May
14,
2021).
The
tweet
read,
"Paresh
Rawal
ji,
a
member
of
the
film
industry
has
passed
away
at
7am
on
14th
May,
2021."
Paresh
Rawal
who
is
known
as
the
'king
of
comedy'
on
screen,
gave
fans
a
peek
into
his
witty
side
in
real
life
with
a
hilarious
reaction
to
his
death
rumours.
He
shared
a
screenshot
of
a
Twitter
page
that
has
his
photo
with
a
condolence
message
in
Hindi,
and
wrote,
"Sorry
for
the
misunderstanding
as
I
slept
past
7
am."
Meanwhile,
fans
were
not
amused
by
the
death
hoax.
A
Twitter
user
wrote,
"I
mean
don't
know
how
to
react
to
these
fake
news.
May
you
get
my
remaining
age
as
well
sir.
Take
care." Another
user
wrote,
"Honestly
speaking
sir
mein
ye
seh
nahi
paunga.
Be
it
in
whatever
role
it
has
been
and
It
still
is
a
treat
to
watch
you
perform.
In
childhood
I
was
scared
by
your
-ve
characters
and
now
laugh
aloud
keeping
aside
my
work
by
just
rewatching
you
entertain
us
with
your
versatility."
"Some
respect
must
be
shown
to
all
the
living
legends.
They
can't
have
more
likes
n
share
(asTRP)
by
announcing
someone's
death.
Not
acceptable
in
civilised
Society,"
read
a
tweet
by
a
fan.
Another
netizen
commented,
"Action
should
be
taken
against
this
page.
I
can't
tolerate
such
kinds
of
joke.
You
are
my
fav
sir.
I
pray
god
this
day
will
never
come."
Meanwhile,
earlier
in
March,

Rawal
had
tested
positive
