Last night, we brought to you the sad news of TV actor Sachin Kumar who has been part of TV show Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii left the world after a cardiac arrest. This news definitely came as a shock to many readers as well as his friends. Even the other media houses went on to report about the news but unfortunately ended up carrying the wrong photograph. Several media outlets carried a picture of A Sachin Kumar who is a photographer and a former actor himself and goes by the same name and thanks to profession mixup the error was made. TV actor Sachin of Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii fame too had quit acting and had taken up photography as a profession.
Coming back to the other Sachin Kumar who is a renowned photographer in the industry and have been part of TV show Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera took to his Facebook account to clarify that he is not the one.
On his Facebook post sharing the articles grab that carried his picture instead of the Sachin Kumar who passed away, the actor wrote, "It's an awful one, considering the delicate nature of this story..I, Sachin Kumar as photographer, husband, father and son. And the influence I have over all things. No one likes to hear they're dead. The fact is, we're all going to die. I understand that this is worse anyone can expect and my sincere condolences are with Sachin's family who was an Actor and photographer like me. I have been getting calls from friends and relative to confirm authenticity. My father has been staying in Delhi and is above 70 who has been contacted my many friends, relatives and neighbours to know about my well being. The pressure to be first is enormous. The responsibility to be right, however, should take precedence. The line between journalism and other content has blurred, making it more important than ever for all writers, regardless of their platform, to verify their facts. Please make sure before committing such mistakes, as that could lead to disaster..request to all news media again plz confirm 100 percent then publish anything...share plz".
Well its indeed the biggest error. However, the whole confusion happened as the late actor Sachin Kumar had also turned photographer for the past few years. Whereas the Sachin Kumar that is alive keeps clicking the well-known TV artists has also been part of a TV show.
