Those who are super active on various platforms share updates about each and every aspect of their life. They sometimes get in the wrong limelight and are trolled for their films or fashion choices. Not only this but many even face weird incidents like death hoaxes. Many celebrities in the past have fallen prey to the fake news of their deaths going viral on the internet.
