Since the last couple of days, some websites have been carrying reports of Shahid Kapoor suffering from stomach cancer. These reports have mentioned that the actor and his family are tight- lipped about the problem since they don't want anybody to know about the serious issue. So is Shahid actually suffering from the deadly condition? The answer is NO. Shahid's family members have completely denied all such rumours and completely shunned all such reports terming them baseless. "Log kuchh bhi kaise likh sakte hain? Aakhir is khabar ka aadhar kya hai? Is tarah ki afwaahein phailaane ko kis tarah se jaayaz tthehraya ja sakta hai?" (How can people write just anything? This news is based on what? Spreading rumors like these is not acceptable)," said one of the actor's family members to ABP Live. Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput Share a Passionate Kiss as They Celebrate 'Love' This Diwali (View Pics).

People need to understand the seriousness of such things before spreading false rumours like this. What's important is we cannot just make assumptions about celebrities just because they are public figures. Sonali Bendre and Irrfan Khan - two imminent Bollywood personalities have been suffering from cancer and have put up a brave fight against it so far. They both have been take treatments to get themselves cured. Anyway, we hope now people start cooking up false stories and get a life for real.
