'somebody is deriving sadistic pleasure': Prem Chopra on his death rumours

Veteran actor Prem Chopra, who is one of the glorious villains in Hindi cinema, fell prey to a death hoax on July 27. He said he’s been receiving calls and texts from family and industry friends since morning. An infuriated Chopra said death hoaxes are nothing but sadism. He told The Times of India, “This is sadism, what else! Somebody is deriving sadistic pleasure in wrongly informing people that I am no more. But



here I am, talking to you, absolutely hale and hearty."

Further adding, “I don't know how many calls of this nature I have received since morning. Rakesh Roshan called me. Amod Mehra (trade analyst) called. I wonder who did this to me. Also, I must tell you that someone did a similar thing with Jeetendra, my close friend. That happened about four months ago. This needs to stop- and immediately.”
