Social media breathed a collective sigh of relief as Bhojpuri sensation Anjana Singh debunked vicious rumors claiming her untimely demise. What started as a whisper quickly escalated into a storm, with thousands mourning the 38-year-old star online.
The actress, celebrated for blockbusters such as ‘Devra Bada Sadha’ and her electrifying dance numbers, posted a live video on Facebook. ‘Namaskar doston, main aapki Anjana bol rahi hoon. Zinda hoon, khush hoon!’ she said in her signature Bhojpuri lilt, dispelling doubts instantly.
Fake screenshots from supposed news outlets and altered photos fueled the frenzy. Within minutes of the first post, RIP messages inundated her profiles, crashing servers temporarily due to the volume of traffic.
Industry insiders reveal this trend targets regional stars with limited mainstream media presence, making them easy prey for trolls seeking attention. Anjana’s team has lodged complaints with cyber cells in Patna and Mumbai.
Reflecting on her journey from small-town Bihar to Bhojpuri royalty, Anjana shared how such incidents test resilience. She plans a new song release soon as a ‘thank you’ to fans who stood by her.
The episode underscores the perils of unchecked online information. Platforms like Twitter and Instagram are ramping up fact-check partnerships, but user vigilance remains crucial. Anjana ends on a high note: ‘Life is too short for fake news—let’s spread love instead.’ Her message has resonated, turning tragedy into a teachable moment.
