Dilip Kumar, the iconic Bollywood actor of his time, once again fell victim to the rumours circulating on social-media about his death.
The veteran actor and his wife, Saira Bano, were in utter shock when they received a huge number of phone calls and messages inquiring about Kumar’s well-being.
Kumar took to twitter and put an end to all rumours:
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.

He also posted a picture of himself in a new shirt and a trouser that was asked by his wife to try.

After discarding the rumors of his death, he thanked the ones concerned about his well-being, saying that he was immensely touched by the prayers, wishes and greetings from his fans and well-wishers.
God's infinite mercy has been upon Saira and I. Your love and adulation for us can never be thanked enough.
