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.
