The latest victim of the celebrity death hoax that surfaces not infrequently was veteran Hindi actor, Dilip Kumar. The 94-year-old tweeted a series of messages to say he is fine and doing well, after erroneous reports of his death did the rounds.
I've been away from this medium for sometime; my heart has been with all of you. Your greetings, dua's and wishes have touched me immensely

Allah's mercy has been upon us, my health has been much better this Ramazan. Could not fast due to regular medication and irregular sleep.

Dilip Kumar, along with his wife Saira Banu, were reportedly bombarded with calls on Thursday night, asking about his welfare. Following this, he took out time to reply to fans and explain his absence from social media.

Still get so many invitations to accept awards and honors. My health makes it difficult to travel and be there personally, but thank you!
