Influencer 'Chicken Leg Piece Man' Ulhas Kamthe alive, says death reports are a rumour

Social media influencer Ulhas Kamthe, known as the "Chicken Leg Piece Man", has been trending in recent days. There was loud chatter on social media that he had suffered a heart attack and died.

Kamthe himself clarified in a video posted on social media that he is alive. According to him, the reports of his death are a rumour and the video going viral is an old one. His fans were relieved. For the past four days he has been all over the media and social media, and people want to know who he is and how he became so famous.

The rumour began with an incident a few days ago. Kamthe had gone to the premiere of the horror film "Jhaad Phoonk". He did not actually want to go, as he is afraid of horror films and avoids them, but went when a friend insisted.

He was so unnerved by a scary scene in the film that he fainted and fell on the spot. He had suffered a panic attack, and there was commotion in the hall. Friends rushed him to Kokilaben Hospital. After treatment, he was discharged within a short time. It was an anxiety attack, not a heart attack.

Someone had filmed him while he was being taken to hospital. That same video went viral again on social media and the death rumour spread. Kamthe then had to issue a clarification.

Kamthe is a popular social media influencer and YouTuber. He is called the "Chicken Leg Piece Man" on the internet. Videos of him eating chicken and mutton in a distinctive style often go viral, and the name stuck to him for that reason.

In 2018, a video of him on TikTok went viral, in which he is seen eating a chicken leg piece and speaking in his own style. People liked the style so much that the video spread widely and he became a household name overnight.

His other videos then also went viral one after another, and his popularity grew. He became known as a food blogger. He has lakhs of fans on several social media platforms, including Instagram, and more than 2 million followers on social media.

He has started a restaurant named "Chicken Leg Piece" in Ghatkopar. He is reported to earn Rs 3 to 4 lakh from social media. He owns a gym in Mumbai, has other businesses, and has worked with well-known figures from the entertainment world.
