A video showing Shah Rukh Khan on the premises of a temple, along with his daughter Suhana Khan, is shared virally with the claim that he is visiting Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
Fact Check:
The claim is Misleading. The video shows the visuals from September 2023 when Shah Rukh Khan visited Tirumala temple.
Upon searching for the latest reports on Shah Rukh Khan’s visit to Ram Mandir, we found no news articles published.
When we searched the keyframes extracted from the video using Google reverse image search, we found videos and reports published about his visit to Tirumala temple.
On further search, we found articles stating that Superstar Shah Rukh Khan offered prayers at the Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirumala ahead of the release of his film Jawan. Shah Rukh Khan was accompanied by his daughter Suhana and his manager Pooja Dadlani. Both SRK and Suhana were dressed in white festive outfits. His Jawan co-star Nayanthara, along with her husband Vignesh Shivan was also clicked at the temple.
India Today also shared the video showing the star visiting the Tirumala temple. The article states that while the fans' excitement is at an all-time high for the upcoming movie ‘Jawan’, the superstar was seen arriving in Tirupati along with his daughter, Suhana Khan, early in the morning on September 5.
Therefore, the viral video shows Shah Rukh Khan visiting the Tirumala Temple in Andhra Pradesh and not the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, which opened a couple of days ago. The claim is Misleading.
