Prafull Billore, known as MBA Chaiwala, responds to viral claims that he has died by saying he is alive and asking people to stop sharing fake news. Reports of his alleged death circulated widely on social media, with some posts on X reportedly driving the misinformation. After the rumours gained traction—including posts that expressed condolences—Billore posted a clarification on Instagram. He shared a screenshot of a Google search that showed a query about “Prafull Billore death,” alongside a preview indicating that while some websites referenced an alleged death, there was no official confirmation.
Billore called the misinformation “offensive” and “hurtful,” stating it was baseless. His message urges social media users to verify information through credible sources before reposting unconfirmed claims. The outlets also note that this incident underscores how quickly unverified information can spread online, particularly when misleading posts are amplified. Billore’s denial is presented as his first direct public response to the hoax.
