Actress Resham Tipnis, best known for her work in Hindi films like Baazigar, Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, Deewana Main Deewana, and Jai Ho, recently slammed 'fake' news about her 14-year-old son Manav's alleged suicide. Reports falsely claimed that Manav had jumped from a high-rise building in Mumbai's Kandivali area following an argument over attending tuition, while some social media users even mistakenly identified the deceased as Resham's son.

Fake Post Sparks Outrage
It all started after a social media post by the Instagram page Laughing Colours wrongly identified Resham's son, Manav, as the boy who had died by suicide. Reacting strongly to the misinformation, the actress urged everyone to report the account, saying, "Please everyone, mass report this account so that Instagram will take action against them. His handle is @laughingcolours. He has now deleted the post, but please report it anyway."
Teen Dies After Argument
The Kandivali police station official said, "On Wednesday, the Class 9 student was asked by his mother to go for tuition but he was reluctant, which led to an argument. The boy left the house at 6pm, climbed down a couple of floors and then jumped to his death. His mother was alerted to the incident by a resident. We are ascertaining the exact floor from which he jumped off. No foul is suspected as yet. An accidental death report has been registered and further probe is underway."
Resham Tipnis married actor Sanjeev Seth in 1993 at the age of 20, but the couple divorced in 2004. They have two children, Manav and Rishika.
