Fact Check
BOOM first ran a reverse image search to trace the origin of the photographs but found no credible source confirming that actor Shah Rukh Khan was spotted at the Maha Kumbh Mela with American wrestlers Roman Reigns and Ronda Rousey.
We then used the AI-detector tool Hive Moderation and it concluded that the probability of them being artificially generated is over 80 percent.
