IS IT STALIN’S GRANDSON?

No, the claim accompanying the picture is completely false. The boy in the picture is not MK Stalin’s grandson but a boy called Harshvardhan Pandharkar from Pune.

WHO IS THE BOY IN THE VIRAL POST?

On conducting a reverse image search of the photograph, we came across Harshvardhan Pandharkar’s Instagram page. We also found the picture which has been used in the viral post. Pandharkar identifies himself as the youngest ‘Golden boy’.

WHO IS STALIN’S GRANDSON?

Not a lot has been written about MK Stalin’s grandchildren but according to a Tamil website News Bugz, Stalin’s son Udhayanidhi Stalin has two children, a son named Inbanithi and daughter named Tanmaya.

MK Stalin has a daughter Senthamarai Sabareesan who is married to V Sabareesan. However, not much as been written about their children.
