Claim:
Priyanka Chopra is visiting India to attend the Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj.
Fact:
Priyanka Chopra’s visit to India is not related to the Maha Kumbh 2025. She is in Hyderabad for SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film project, tentatively titled SSMB29, where she will star alongside Mahesh Babu.
Evidence:
- Instagram Post Misinterpreted:
Priyanka Chopra recently shared an Instagram Story showing a city view from a moving vehicle, sparking rumors of her attending the Maha Kumbh 2025. However, she has not made any statement confirming this claim. - Travel Details:
Priyanka’s Instagram posts reveal her journey from Toronto to Hyderabad via Dubai. The posts included an ‘Om’ emoji and clips of her travels, with no indication of a trip to Prayagraj or the Kumbh Mela. - Film Project:
The actual reason for Priyanka’s India visit is her involvement in SS Rajamouli’s film project. According to reports, the film’s script is finalized, and shooting is set to begin in April 2025. Priyanka was chosen for her global popularity and acting prowess to star alongside Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. - Past Cultural Connections:
While Priyanka is known for her love of Indian heritage and has visited sacred places like Ayodhya’s Ram Temple in the past, her current visit focuses on her return to Indian cinema, not religious events.
Verdict:
False. Priyanka Chopra is not in India for the Maha Kumbh 2025. Her visit is related to her role in SS Rajamouli’s upcoming movie, marking her return to Indian cinema.
