'Shark Tank India' judge Vineeta Singh slams fake 'death news'; shares screenshots of post saying "hard day for India ..."

Shark Tank India judge Vineeta Singh took to social media platform X to address the persistent rumors of her death. In a post on Saturday, the Sugar Cosmetics CEO shared a screenshot of a fake news report claiming her demise. She expressed frustration over the malicious misinformation that has been circulating for over five weeks.

Singh revealed that despite reporting the fake news to Meta (formerly Facebook) and filing a complaint with the Mumbai Cyber Police, these rumors have not stopped. The most concerning aspect, according to Singh, is the impact on her family, with people panicking and calling her mother.

Her post, which has garnered over 287,000 views, resonated with many users. Several users commented on the alarming spread of paid misinformation on social media platforms, urging Meta to take accountability. Others suggested Singh pursue legal action against those spreading the rumors, including a defamation case.

Vineeta Singh has been a prominent figure on Shark Tank India since its launch. She recently shared a celebratory video on her Instagram account from the show's season 3 wrap-up party. This latest incident highlights the growing problem of fake news and its potential to cause distress.
