Kajal Agarwal
Many celebrities have been the target of death hoaxes online, which often create panic among fans before being debunked. Recently, a new wave of rumours claimed that popular Telugu actress Kajal Agarwal had died in a car accident. Alongside this, a video surfaced on social media showing Tollywood stars such as Junior NTR, Kalyan Ram, Ram Charan, and Balakrishna attending a funeral, with captions stating “RIP Kajal Agarwal.”
Here is the archive link of the claim.
Fact Check:
The claim is False. Kajal Agarwal is alive, and the rumours are baseless.
When we extracted keyframes from the viral video and conducted reverse image searches, we found that the visuals showing Telugu actors were old clips from unrelated funerals. The clip showing Junior NTR and Kalyan Ram was from a tribute they paid to legendary actor N.T. Rama Rao on his 101st birth anniversary.
The visual of Ram Charan stepping out of a car was from a video where he attended his grandmother’s funeral.
Meanwhile, Kajal Agarwal has been active on her social media accounts, sharing recent posts that prove she is safe and healthy. On her Facebook page, she uploaded pictures from a vacation in the Maldives.
On Twitter/X, Kajal directly addressed the false claims. She wrote “I’ve come across some baseless news claiming I was in an accident (and no longer around!) and honestly, it’s quite amusing because it’s absolutely untrue. By the grace of God, I want to assure you all that I am perfectly fine, safe, and doing very well. I kindly request you not to believe or circulate such false news. Let’s focus our energies on positivity and truth instead. With love and gratitude, Kajal.”
Hence, the viral claim that Kajal Agarwal died in a car accident is false. The video circulating on social media was made using old clips of Tollywood actors attending unrelated funerals. Kajal Agarwal herself has confirmed through social media that she is alive, safe, and well.
