Influencer Ulhas Kamathe says he is alive and well, denies death rumour in video

Social media influencer Ulhas Kamathe, who rose to fame with his 'chicken leg piece' videos, has been in the news as reports of his death spread rapidly online. It was claimed that he had died of a heart attack. Kamathe has now shared a video on Instagram calling the reports false, saying he is perfectly fine and alive.

The rumour began with a widely shared video that showed Kamathe falling ill and being taken to hospital. Seeing it, people began saying he had suffered a heart attack and died, and many even posted about his death. Kamathe has now said there is no truth in these reports.

He has also explained what actually happened in the viral video. According to him, it was recorded during the premiere of the film 'Jad-Phoonk'. The video he shared also shows some of the people who were present that day.

According to Kamathe, he had an anxiety attack, or panic attack, because of the frightening scenes after watching the film. He then lost consciousness for a short while. He was immediately admitted to Kokilaben Hospital. Doctors examined him and allowed him to go home within a few hours.

A member of the film's team also recounted the day. According to the team member, Kamathe had at first declined to watch a horror film, and agreed to attend the premiere only after being requested. After watching the film's frightening scenes, he had a panic attack and fainted. The entire team, including director Rajan Verma, then took him to hospital.

The team member said doctors examined him and found his health fine, and he was discharged within a few hours. The reports of his death circulating on social media thus turned out to be false.

Kamathe has cleared up the confusion among fans by posting the video himself. People are now being urged not to believe the rumours about the death of Kamathe, famous for 'chicken leg piece'.
