Kajal Aggarwal has long been admired not just for her acting skills but also for the calm grace with which she navigates both her career and public life. With a solid fan base across South India and Bollywood, Kajal continues to command attention with each film and appearance. Most recently seen in the mythological drama Kannappa and with major projects like Indian 3 and a potential role in Ramayana on the cards, she remains a prominent figure in Indian cinema.
However, over the past few days, Kajal found herself at the centre of an unsettling and completely untrue rumour about her de*th.
The actress became the latest victim of an Internet de*th hoax after unverified and alarming claims surfaced online, alleging that she had di*d in a tragic road accident. The false reports stated that Kajal had suffered severe injuries in the incident, triggering concern among fans. As the rumour spread quickly across social media platforms, many began sharing the story without confirming its authenticity.
To address the growing panic, Kajal took to her official social media accounts on Monday to clear the air. In a direct message to her followers, she firmly denied the false reports, assuring everyone that she was perfectly safe and healthy. Kajal expressed her amusement at the bizarre claim, saying it was completely baseless and untrue. She added that, by God’s grace, she was doing very well and asked people not to believe or circulate such fake news. In her post, she also encouraged everyone to focus their time and energy on truth and positivity instead of giving space to misinformation.
Here is her social media post:
When initially contacted by an entertainment portal for a comment regarding the rumours, Kajal briefly responded that she was occupied and would speak later. But soon after, her social media post made her stance crystal clear, helping calm the wave of worry that had gripped her fans.
Interestingly, the false reports came shortly after Kajal had shared moments from a relaxing getaway to the Maldives with her husband Gautam Kitchlu. Through a series of beautiful images on Instagram, she expressed her deep love for the island destination, referring to it as a recurring affair she would gladly be guilty of. Her poetic caption spoke of being consistently drawn back to the Maldives for its beauty, glow and sunsets that she likened to nature’s most glamorous runway.
On the professional front, Kajal’s schedule remains as vibrant as ever. After Kannappa, she appeared in the Hindi action drama Sikandar alongside Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. She’s now gearing up for her role in Indian 3, the next installment of Kamal Haasan’s blockbuster franchise directed by Shankar.
Meanwhile, industry speculation also links her to Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious adaptation of the Ramayana, where she is reportedly cast as Mandodari, wife of Ravana, a role that could be one of her most defining yet. The film is expected to feature Yash as Ravana, Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita.
While Kajal’s career continues on an upward path, this incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of misinformation.
