“Lucky enough to die twice?” Singer G. Venugopal shuts down bizarre death rumor

Renowned playback singer G. Venugopal has become the latest victim of a celebrity death hoax — and he’s handling it in the most hilarious way possible.

“Looks like I’ve been lucky enough to ‘die’ for the second time”
Taking to social media, the veteran singer addressed the absurd rumor circulating about his supposed death due to illness. In a witty and light-hearted post, G. Venugopal not only dismissed the false claim but also poked fun at the bizarre message that had apparently been doing the rounds online.
Sharing a screenshot of the viral death announcement, Venugopal wrote, “So, it looks like I’ve been lucky enough to ‘die’ for the second time within a year .” He explained that the rumor reached him just after he had returned from an adventurous trip in Kashmir with his wife.

“If you keep dying like this every now and then, what are we supposed to do, Da’?”
“This time, after completing trekking and snow-climbing in Sonmarg, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam in Kashmir, my wife and I returned to Srinagar. That’s when this piece of ‘news’ was shared in my Model School friends’ group with the title: ‘If you keep dying like this every now and then, what are we supposed to do, da?’” he added.
Clearly amused yet surprised by the spread of such misinformation, the singer ended his post with a dose of sarcasm and a rhetorical question: “Now I’m wondering… should I hold a press conference to officially declare that I have no plans of dying anytime soon? — VG”
