Fake stories of Big B's death doing rounds of net

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 10:52 AM PDT



A blog reported that Amitabh Bachchan died in a road accident. However the story of his accidental death is a planned and planted affair.

Just last week rumours were doing rounds of the internet and social media that superstar Rajesh Khanna is no more. Earlier this year there was a similar hullabaloo on the social media circuit about the demise of Lata Mangeshkar. And now the internet has found a new victim.

A blog reported the death of Bollywood's biggest star Amitabh Bachchan some time back. However like in earlier cases, even this was a false alarm. What's surprising is that it wasn't a small tweet or post that led to the start of this rumour. The blog was descriptive enough about the fictional death and went on to give details about the death claiming that it was a road accident on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell. It was a case of instant death and the site even went ahead to post a picture of an upturned car.

The blog didn't stop at that but went on to add details about the funeral being a closed casket one because of the severity of the injury to Big B. Expectedly the news caught like fire on the social media and everyone was talking about the accidental death of Amitabh Bachchan (which actually was a planned and planted story).

Meanwhile Amitabh Bachchan is hale and hearty and has been tweeting often though he hasn't commented about this death story yet.
