Many celebs have also taken a bath in the Maha Kumbh. At the same time, a photo of South and Hindi film actor Prakash Raj taking a dip in the Ganges river is going viral on social media. But this is a fake picture. The actor has expressed his anger about this in a post on X.
Has Prakash Raj taken a dip of faith in Maha Kumbh?
Let us tell you that Prakash Raj on Wednesday lashed out at those who shared his fake Maha Kumbh picture on his X (formerly Twitter) handle. Prakash Raj’s viral picture is AI-generated in which he is seen taking a dip in the holy water in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The actor criticized those who shared it online and revealed that he has already filed a complaint in this matter. He said that it is a matter of shame that some people are sharing fake pictures even during the ongoing Maha Kumbh.
Prakash Raj wrote in his post, “Fake news alert… The last resort of the fanatics and the cowardly army of ‘Feku Maharaj’ is to stoop down and spread fake news. Even during their holy ceremony.. what a shame.. Complaint has been filed against the jokers.. now face the consequences.”

Even though Prakash Raj has not visited Prayagraj to participate in Maha Kumbh, many other artists have taken a dip in the holy water so far. Among them, Adah Sharma, Guru Randhawa, Anupam Kher and Shankar Mahadevan were also seen visiting Prayagraj. Actress-turned-politician Hema Malini also took a holy bath at Triveni Sangam on Mauni Amavasya. During this, she said, “I am feeling good. I have never had such an experience before.
