Porn Star's Picture Falsely Shared As Samajwadi Party Candidate Azam Khan's 'Daughter'

An image of a porn star is being shared on Facebook with a false claim that she is Samajwadi Party candidate Azam Khan's daughter, after the Uttar Pradesh politician's offensive remark about Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Jaya Prada, recently.

The SP candidate does not have a daughter.

The photo of woman wearing a black silk robe is being shared with the caption which translates to, 'this is Azam Khan's daughter, someone tell us her colour'.

Translated from Hindi text - ये आजम खान की बेटी है, कोई इसका भी कलर बता दो

The caption is a reference to Khan's derogatory "khaki underwear" jibe at Bollywood actress-turned-politician Jaya Prada, earlier this month. Both candidates are contesting from Rampur constituency in Uttar Pradesh. (Read more about it here)

Khan was subsequently barred from campaigning for 72 hours by the Election Commission of India for violating the Model Code of Conduct with his offensive statement. (Read about it here)

FACT-CHECK

A reverse image search of the photo shows the woman is an porn actress known by her screen name 'Horny Lily.'

In addition we found a document on uplegisassembly.gov.in/ which shows Azam Khan has two sons (Adeeb and Abdullah) and does not have a daughter.
