Sapna, while talking to a leading daily, expressed her displeasure over the rumours about her death. She revealed that her family members, who were flooded with calls, didn't know how to deal with the situation. She added that such rumours affect the person as well his/her family.
“I wonder how anybody can spread something like this because you are not just affecting the person concerned, but also his/her family. Imagine what a parent would feel to get a call like that, where people are asking about their daughter passing away!,” Sapna told Times Of India.
