Any news,anyone has of this leopard?” However, the leopard was not seen in Mumbai but in Hyderabad. Actor Randeep Hooda gave her a fact check. “It’s from Hydrabad,” he wrote.

Raveena blamed ‘WhatsApp university’ for the misinformation. “Hm. Via wassap univ states Sion mumbai . So asked it’s verification. Hope it’s found soon and safe,” she replied to Randeep’s tweet.
