A fake news video about Nora Fatehi’s death in an accident goes viral on social media. An unverified Instagram page falsely claims that the Bollywood actress had died in an accident. Netizens quickly exposed the false claim and criticised Sufiyan Khan, the account owner, for spreading misinformation.
The viral video, which has 19 million views, shows a person doing adventure sports. The person in the video apparently suffers an accidental fall from high above the ground.
Nora Fatehi, on the same day when the video of her fake death news was posted, shared a video to thank her fans who are making Instagram Reels with her new song, Snake. She asked her fans to use #DanceWithNora so that she could watch them and share them on her feed. Sufiyan Khan seems to be a serial abuser, as his Instagram account contains several other fake claims. In one skiing video on a snowy mountain, the social media user claims Shah Rukh Khan did it.
The Instagram user regularly shares videos from around the world. None of the videos, however, seems original and are believed to have been created by other content creators. This is not the first time the user has shared a video and it has gone viral. The video has received more than 5 million so far.
Nora Fatehi fans expressed anger, condemning the fake news and urging people not to believe such false reports. “Why are u spreading fake news?” asked one fan. “Shame on you to just get attention posting something like that,” came from another fan. “Yeh galat hain bhaiya. Don’t spread fake news for fame!! Won’t last long just like soda,” reacted another social media user.
