Mumbai, March 05: In the age of social networking, gossip parading as ‘news’ travels at the speed of light. On Wednesday night, rumour mills were abuzz about Mona Singh’s (better known as Jassi) sister Khushi being kidnapped.
A journalist who was keeping vigil outside Pramod Mahajan’s house at Pochkhanawala Road, Worli, following Pravin Mahajan’s death, smiled wryly as the message about Khushi Singh flashed on his cell phone.
“Her name is ‘Khushi’ but if this is true, this would give us a headache”, he commented to the amused bunch of fellow journalists. Meanwhile, another journo reported that in a few hours the rumour got embellished with the ‘news’ that Khushi had been kidnapped from a Malad shopping mall. Jassi dismissed the news saying, “it’s just a rumour.”
