Farah Khan has hit back at online portals that put out videos claiming a fire had broken out at her home in Mumbai.
The 61-year-old clarifies that the visuals are from an under-construction building and asked websites to check facts before running alarming stories just for clicks.
The Kal Ho Naa Ho director shared one of the videos on social media and wrote, “Online portals plss BE RESPONSIBLE!! This is an under construction building!! Clickbait can’t be everything!”
The videos went around widely on November 8 and 9, showing flames and what looked like panic at a building site. They were later clarified to have nothing to do with a major fire at Farah’s house.
Reports suggest it was a minor fire involving scaffolding or safety netting at an under-construction structure.
Farah lives at Oberoi Sky Heights in Lokhandwala, Mumbai. There are no official reports of injuries or major damage to her property.
On the work front, Farah’s last film as director was the 2014 heist comedy Happy New Yearwith Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and others.
Her recent choreography for the song Gafoor in The Ba***ds of Bollywood has also been getting attention.
She co-hosted Lock Up Season 2 with Riteish Deshmukh on Netflix, which ended with Shreya Kalra as the winner, and is expected to return as host alongside Riteish for the next season.
She was last seen as an actor in Netflix’s Toasterwith Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra.
