ISLAMABAD: Luke Damant is alive and well. Misinformation spread on social media about his death in Afghanistan. He mocks the attitude of those who readily believe in any news.
He was on a visit to Afghanistan when rumours propagated on social media platforms about his death in Jalalabad. People instantly believed their cheese-paratha lover blogger was dead. He is a traveller who has visited many countries in Asia.
Seeing the fake news, the YouTuber has added a mock obituary to his social media accounts.

Luke wrote, on his Facebook account, that he tried to break the Guinness World Record for eating the most cheese parathas in sixty minutes. After reaching, he claimed, 14 parathas in 30 minutes, the blogger struggled with the 15th, failed to chew properly, and miraculously transformed into a cheese paratha himself.
Lukes’ cheese paratha post
“It is from the deep sadness of hearts that our adventurist, inspiring and loving Luke Damant has had his last paratha. Luke was attempting the Guinness World Record for the most cheese paratha’s eaten in 1 hour. After a strong start, getting to 14 within the first 30 minutes of the challenge. It was at number 15, where Luke didn’t chew his paratha, swallowed, and after a 30-second struggle, he magically turned into one,” read his post.
“Authorities are still trying to figure out how a man can possibly turn into a cheese paratha, but it is believed that the old saying is true… You are what you eat.”
Along with this funny post, he informed social media audiences he will upload next video from Afghanistan on Friday.

On his Instagram stories, he said, “I can’t believe I even have to make this post,”. “Guys, I’m …chilling! For years I’ve been trying to say that the media fakes …news, and hundreds of thousands of people think I’m dead in a day.”
He clarified he was not part of any fake news. He said, “We took the holidays off, new year, had a little bit of fun, and all of a sudden, I’m dead! I’d love to take credit, genius marketing, incredible plot but I have to call it off. As much as I’d love to continue along with the trolling it’s gotten too out of hand.”
He cautioned his followers by saying — “If I go offline for a few weeks, for a few months, that’s just me, we’re alive and we’re chilling.”
