But Divyanka is alive and well and she had to take to Twitter to announce the same, after she started getting frantic calls from her friends and family.
Someone's spreading news about me being in #RIPmode. Guys I'm very much alive. Please don't trouble my friends and family with such rumours.

SpotboyE.com contacted the actress to get to the bottom of this weird episode and she told us: "People are believing some stupid rumours and then calling up my people to say that I have met with an accident and I am dead. I am getting freaked out calls from my loved ones. So I had to go public so that people don't believe such stories."

RIP Shweta. Balaji Telefilms and the whole team will miss you.” Then rumours claimed that Shweta succumbed to cancer.
Her husband Abhinav had then told SpotboyE.com: “Shweta is hale and hearty and doing amazingly well. We have been getting calls from a lot of people after that post came up.”
