Bhubaneswar: Ollywood comedy king Tatwa Prakash Satpathy aka Papu Pom Pom on Thursday urged the people not to post fake news about his health on social media.

I thank those who are posting such fake news because such news will increase my longevity,” he said in a video release to the media after his return from New Delhi on Thursday night.
Papu said after he was discharged from the AIIMS in New Delhi on July 10, the doctors had asked him to visit the institute every month for a routine check-up.
“So as per their advice, I had gone to AIIMS for a routine check-up two days ago. Should I tell the media about my visit?
