The citizens of India are still reeling from the unexpected results of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. With many celebrating the win of their chosen political leaders, social media has been flooding with a lot of ongoing discussions surrounding what is to be expected next. Amidst it all, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s tweet stating that Rahul Gandhi will be the next Prime Minister of India has surfaced on the internet. A screenshot of the tweet has been circulating on social media through videos and photos, leaving netizens with mixed reactions.
As reported by NDTV, the tweet reads, “Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will be the next prime minister of India.” Well, quoting a report by the PTI Fact Check Desk, the media publication stated that the viral tweet is imaginary and fake. The 58-year-old actor hasn’t posted anything regarding the Congress leader on his official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle. It is to be noted that the screenshot of the tweet started surfacing on the internet on May 25, when an Instagram user shared the same with the caption, “Now Shahrukh Khan also said, Rahul Gandhi will become the Prime Minister.” ALSO READ: Priyamani REVEALS Jawan Co-Star Shah Rukh Khan Once Gave Her Rs 200 For Playing A Game With Him On His iPad
