New Delhi:
A day after veteran actress Mumtaz's daughter Tanya Madhvani posted photos of the actress to confirm she's "happy and healthy" (contrary to the rumours), the 70-year-old actress thanked a fans via a video message posted by Tanya on her Instagram account. "It felt strange to see that so many people were worried about me after so many years. I'm thankful to have received your love. Do not get worried... I'm very happy and healthy. I'm not at lonely as it was reported. My children are looking after me and I'm happy," Mumtaz said in the video. Last week, reports of Mumtaz's death hit the Internet after a journalist tweeted that the actress died after a cardiac arrest and that she "lived a lonely life." The tweet was deleted after Tanya clarified her mother was vacationing in Rome with her.
