A photo of Jay Shah, secretary Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posing with two people - a man and a woman - is viral misidentifying the man as Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa's son Saad Bajwa.
The photo with the false claim went viral after Saad Bajwa was spotted sitting Union Minister Amit Shah's son Jay, at the recent India Pakistan match held in Dubai at the ongoing Asia Cup 2022.
A Facebook user captioned the photo as, "Prince of Pakistani General Qamar Bajwa Saad Bajwa and Amit Shah bhai's intelligent son with the beauty."

Urvashi Rautela is an Indian actress and model who has appeared in some Hindi and Kannada movies.

The photograph was captioned as, "Jay Shah, Yashraj Rautela & Urvashi Rautela IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2022."
We also found several posts on the actress' official Instagram profile where she can be seen with the same person identifying him as her brother Yashraj Rautela. A Times of India article also identified Yashraj as the younger brother of the actress and carried a family photo.
