In 1995, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shirodkar, known for films like "Gopi Kishan" and "Aankhen," found herself at the center of a shocking death hoax. While filming the action drama "Raghuveer" alongside Suniel Shetty, a newspaper headline claimed that Shilpa had been shot dead on set, causing a massive stir.
Shilpa, who was shooting in Kullu Manali at the time, recalled the panic that unfolded back home. Her father tried to reach her at the hotel, as mobile phones were not yet common. When Shilpa returned to her room, she was greeted by a flurry of unanswered calls from worried loved ones who had seen the headline.
It was later revealed that the entire episode was a publicity stunt orchestrated by the film's producer, a tactic that Shilpa described as "a bit too much." Despite the initial shock, she was not too angry, as the film ultimately performed well at the box office.
Now, years later, Shilpa Shirodkar is poised to make a comeback in the film "Jatadhara," which also stars Sonakshi Sinha. The actress's resilience and ability to bounce back from the infamous death hoax incident showcase her enduring talent and determination in the entertainment industry.
