MUMBAI: Mukesh Khanna is a renowned actor. He played the title role in Shaktimaan and garnered huge fan following. He also reprised the unforgettable Bhishma Pitamah in Mahabharat.

The actor is in shock. His phone has been constantly ringing with people enquiring if he is alive. Speaking of the same, he told Times Of India, “I am fed up, literally fed up. I don't know what to say or do to rumour mongers who are out on such futile exercises which cause only fear, chaos and anxiety. Almost all my friends and relatives have called by now and one fan said he was relieved as he just had a terrible thing in his life when his mother passed away 20 days ago."
