The fans of Rajinikanth were in a state of shock after rumours started circulating about Rajinikanth testing positive for Covid-19. Well, it was a joke circulated by some miscreant around the superstar, but it created panic among the fans.

A prankster posted a picture with a caption – Rajinikanth tested positive for Covid19. The virus is in quarantine. But many did not understand the joke and assumed that their icon has tested positive for the contagious disease.

Riaz K Ahmed gave a clarification with the tweet, “This news is false! It would be nice if people stop spreading such news in a time like this!”

However, many pointed him out that it was a joke. As a result, he has now deleted it and the screen shot of this can be seen below: It has noted that Rajinikanth’s family friend Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai and granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan have tested positive for Covid-19.
