CLAIM
A wedding invitation doing the rounds on various social media platforms claims that bollywood celebrities, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are set to tie the knot on 22 January 2020.
Media outlet NewsX also shared the invitation card in an article claiming that the duo is indeed getting married in 2020.
An archived version of the article can be viewed here.
The invitation which is being massively circulated on WhatsApp and Twitter says that the wedding will take place at Umaid Bhavan Palace in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
TRUE OR FALSE?
The Quint could verify that this is a fake invitation as no such official announcement has been made by any of the two celebrities.
WHAT WE FOUND OUT
Speaking to The Quint, sources close to Alia confirmed that the invitation is fake and no such announcement has been made by either of the two celebrities involved.
The invitation has multiple spelling and grammatical errors. To begin with, the spelling of Alia Bhatt’s first name is wrong. Also, Alia is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and not Mukesh Bhatt as the invitation card mentions.
We also found that the date of the wedding is mentioned as ‘22th January’ instead of 22nd January.
