Mumbai: Filmmaker Farah Khan has criticised online portals for circulating misleading videos claiming that a fire had broken out at her Mumbai residence.
Calling out the sensationalised coverage, she urged digital media platforms to verify information before publishing such reports.
On Sunday, a video surfaced on social media claiming that Farah’s apartment had caught fire.
Reacting to the viral clip, the filmmaker shared it on Instagram and clarified that the blaze had occurred at a nearby under-construction building, not her home.
She wrote, “Online portals plss BE RESPONSIBLE!! This is an under-construction building!! Clickbait can’t be everything!”
Farah resides at Oberoi Sky Heights in Mumbai’s Lokhandwala area. No official reports have confirmed any injuries or significant property damage in connection with the viral claims.
Recently, the filmmaker also gave fans a glimpse of her revamped bedroom after being nominated for a makeover by her friend Karan Johar.
The renovation included wooden flooring, textured chocolate-brown and marble-effect walls, and a separate wardrobe and vanity area featuring floor-to-ceiling sliding panels with fingerprint- and password-enabled locks.
Meanwhile, Farah recently revealed that she has completed the script for her next directorial venture, with filming expected to begin in December.
She expressed her desire to cast Shah Rukh Khan in the project, saying she would rather wait for his dates than make the film without him.
The duo has previously collaborated on films such as Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om and Happy New Year. Their upcoming project would mark their fourth collaboration.
