Bilal Khan wants you to know he isn't dead

A newspaper claimed the singer had died in 2010 and he was not happy about it

21 Aug, 2017

Bilal Khan wants you to know that he is very much alive.

The singer is the latest victim of fake news as he was proclaimed dead by a local newspaper.

92 News published an article on Pakistani artists who passed away at the peak of their careers. The list included singers Nazia Hassan (2000), Amjad Sabri (2016) and actor Bilal Khan (2010), except they put the picture of the wrong Bilal Khan in their piece.

While there was an actor by the name of Bilal Khan who has indeed passed away, the article featured a picture of the 'Bachana' singer. Who, upon finding out about his demise, was not amused.

He took to social media to call out the news channel for publishing false news.

In 92 News' defense, Bilal Khan, the actor who passed away, has a page on Wikipedia and also features a picture of the singer. And yes, that just makes it more awkward.

The singer's fans are very happy to know that he's alive, and are also mildly entertained by this mix up.

MEDIA has lost it completely. They would publish anything to get limelight.

Nothing is amazing than being declared dead. We pakistanis are actually very adept of doing or claiming so.
