April Fool’s Day 2024: Many celebrities, from Abhishek Bachchan to Ajay Devgn, have played mischievous tricks on their fans and each other.

Here’s a look back at some of the best celebrity pranks over the years:
‘Explosive! Prabhadevi’s shattering confession: Yes I am Sridevi’s unknown sister’ screamed the headline on an old issue of Cine Blitz magazine in April 1991. A dolled-up Anupam, on the cover with pouty lips, declared that he was actor Sridevi’s long-lost sister, Prabhadevi. The issue probably sold out because of that sensational piece of news – Sridevi has another sister no one knew of?
