X account @johnsoncinepro posted that Divya Spandana had passed away on September 6 morning. “Shocking news: Actor Divya Spandan passes away. Dies due to heart attack.”
It’s not her who passed away, Kannada actor Vijay Raghavendra’s wife Spandana who passed away. Not to post anything you know. It’s misleading the audience and getting reach in worst way for media.#Divyaspandana #FakeNews

As hashtag #DivyaSpandana began to trend on X, formerly Twitter, anxious supporters sought to confirm the grim rumour. Thiru. KT Lakshmi Kanthan, Chairman of Congress’ IT Cell hit out at the rumors, calling them “100% wrong” and clarified that she is alive and well.
Another journalist also posted a picture with Divya from Geneva. “Wonderful meeting the very talented and genteel lady @divyaspandana for dinner in Geneva. We talked about many things including our love for Bangalore,” she wrote in her tweet.
The Kannada actor joined the Youth Congress in 2012 and served as the social media head of the Congress. She has been credited with boosting Congress and Rahul Gandhi’s social media image. She stepped down from the post in 2018 after her role was reportedly downsized.
