Kajol revealed that she was often the victim of death fraud. She revealed that a video recently appeared on the Internet in which she claimed that she had died.

Kajol turned 50 earlier this year.

Bollywood actress Kajol has opened up about the death scams she has been exposed to over the years. The 50-year-old actress appeared on Netflix’s Great Indian Kapil Show on Saturday and shared that she hears the news of her death once every five to 10 years. This confession shocked her Do Patti co-stars, Taapsee Pannu and Shaheer Sheikh. Kajol further revealed that her mother Tanuja once received a call informing her that Kajol’s plane had crashed.

The DDLJ star talked about the strangest news she has read about herself, talking about fake news about her death. “Yes, many times! This has happened many times. The same thing happened before social media. Someone called my mom at home and told her my plane had crashed. There was no social media or telephone back then. So mom had to wait. So it happened several times. Recently, I think there was a video on the internet announcing my death. This is one of the strangest (messages). This is sick,” Kajol told Kapil Sharma.

She added that she never searches Google for news about herself, because if the news is unusual, her relatives send it to her before she has time to check it herself. “I’ve never had to use Google myself, because if the message is strange, people call and let me know. Someone was passing this message to me and saying, “Look! There are strange news about you! What’s going on?” – Kajol said.

The actress recently appeared in Do Patti. Kajol played the role of a policewoman in the film. The film opened to mixed reviews. News18 Showsha gave the film a rating of 3.5 stars. A review of Kajol’s performance reads: ‘An actor of Kajol’s caliber and stature truly deserves a better written and more nuanced character. Basically, Vidya lacks a certain amount of novelty and seems to have been lifted from one of the many cop thrillers in the OTT world.”
