Survived: SRK takes a dig at death hoax

Mumbai, June 2 (IANS) Superstar Shah Rukh Khan prefers taking everything with a pinch of humour -- and he did the same following the death hoax around him.

Earlier this week, the 51-year-old became a victim to a death hoax when an European news network titled El Pais TV reportedly announced a 'breaking news' that Shah Rukh was "killed along with seven others when a private jet he was travelling in crashed".

The "Fan" star had also escaped an accident on the sets of his upcoming film being helmed by Aanand L Rai on Tuesday when a portion of the ceiling fell off.

Shah Rukh on Friday took to Instagram and Twitter, where he shared a photograph of himself holding his head. A caption on the photograph read: "Phew".

"Survived the week in spite of a plane crash, fatal accident on sets and yet another title of Imtiaz Ali film," he wrote further.
