For the past two days, many Whats App and Facebook posts gave out fake news of "Karyam Nisaram" actress's death. The updates said that the actress was killed in a car accident; things went out of hand when Anu's phone was flooded with messages and calls from friends and family.

"I am safe and secure and all those messages that are on social media are fake. I guess it is just a prank played by someone on April fool's day. Even I received the same message and now I am tired of answering calls from directors, my co actors and other friends who were disturbed by the news," Anu told Manorama Online.

The news came as a shock to many fans of Anu Joseph; things got settled when the actress came forward to clear the rumours.
