      Amitabh Bachchan Visits Haji Ali After Recovering From COVID-19?Not Really

      An old image of actor Amitabh Bachchan visiting Ajmer Sharif in Rajasthan has resurfaced with claims that he visited Mumbai's Haji Ali Dargah to offer prayers after he recovered from COVID-19.

      BOOM found that the image is from July 2011, when the senior actor visited the religious shrine after almost 40 years.

      The image has been widely shared on Facebook with the viral claim in Hindi which reads, "Jai Jai Shri Ram. When he was diagnosed with the Coronavirus, then there were several prayers offered in temples for his speedy recovery. And after recovering he went to Haji Ali Dargah to offer auspicious sheet and donate. So sad Boycott Kaun Banega Crorepati."

      (Original text in Hindi: जय जय श्री राम जब इस को कोरोना हुआ था तब इसके जल्द ही स्वस्थ होने के लिए मंदिरों मे आरती यग सुंदरकांड का अखंड पाठ हो रहा और ये ठीक होने के बाद चादर चढ़ाने हाजी अली की था... दरगाह गया..So sad... Boycott कौन बनेगा करोड़पति)
