Tanya shared a video on Instagram to set the record straight and rubbished the reports.
¡°So exhausting another rumour of my mother¡¯s death. She is healthy and looking beautiful as always and has asked me to let her fans know she is well. It¡¯s all rubbish,¡± she wrote.
¡°She is alive, fit and fine. she wants to know why everybody is spreading false news,¡± a family member had told PTI.This is not the first time the 70-year-old actor has become a victim of death hoax.
In April last year, there were rumours about her demise which then also led to Tanya issuing a denial on social media. One of the most popular female actors in the 1970s, Mumtaz featured in films such as Mela, Apradh, Nagin, Bramachari, Ram Aur Shyam, Do Raste, Aap Ki Kasam and Khilona.
Well, this is not the first time that an actor has fallen into the pray of a death hoax.
From Sylvester Stallone, Amitabh Bachchan to Lata Mangeshkar, the fake news of death of several celebrities have often come into the spotlight. In 2018, there was a rumour on social media that Sonali Bendre has passed away but soon, their team confirmed that it was just another hoax. As it's often said, don't believe and read everything you see on the internet!
