Viplav Koneti: I am alive and kicking

Setting at rest the rumours of his death, young director Viplav Koneti (33) said he is alive.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, he said he had switched off his phone as he was unwell.

He posted: “I fell ill, hospitalized and cut myself off from phones. TRUE. Rest is a mystery. And I love death, I openly confessed it in my writings, art, talks. I learnt a lot from death, which I observed from close quarters while I am in Medicine. Death is no joke for me. This is all because of a disturbance which I could not control and trying to control. I will try tougher measures so that such “disturbances” do not disturb other people.”
