As soon as the news of his hospitalisation went viral, several reports stated that Rajeev Masand is on the ventilator in a critical condition. However, this news stands untrue.

Somen Mishra, Head Of Creative Development (Scripts) at Dharma Productions, rubbished the reports and confirmed that the senior journalist is not on ventilator.

He took to Twitter to share: “Saw this as it appeared on timeline. Seems word is doing the rounds, too many calls/messages, so just clarifying he is not on ventilator. Critical, yes. Also slightly better today. Hoping praying for the best."
