Shah Rukh Khan Video Misidentified as Kumbh Mela Footage

Amid the ongoing Kumbh Mela 2025, misinformation has circulated on social media regarding celebrity appearances, notably involving Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. A viral video falsely claimed to show Shah Rukh Khan at the Kumbh Mela; however, it actually depicted his September 2023 visit to the Tirumala temple. Similarly, another video featuring Salman Khan was misrepresented as showing him at the religious gathering, despite no credible reports confirming his attendance. The Kumbh Mela, a significant Hindu festival, has drawn millions of pilgrims and celebrities but has also become a target for misleading online narratives. Officials reported over 420 million attendees, highlighting the event's vast scale. Both instances underscore the challenges of combating misinformation surrounding high-profile events and figures.
