    In response, Alamgir laughs and says: “I will not die before 200.”

    “I was so scared [when I heard the rumour]. Mujhe aadat hogayi hai teri. I have told everyone to stop spreading such nonsensical stuff,” continued Bushra, adding, “We’re already receiving such bad news and I would never want to hear something like this. You are so brave and fighting against your illness for so long. I love you. Stay safe.”
