Taking to his X account, Prakash Raj said, "FAKE NEWS ALERT… The last resort of bigots and coward army of ‘Feku Maharaj’ is to stoop down and spread FAKE NEWS.. even during their Holy ceremony.. what a SHAME .. Complaint has been filed against the Jokers .. face the consequences,"

Although Prakash Raj has not visited Prayagraj in the Maha Kumbh, several other celebrities have made their way to the sacred site to take a dip in the holy waters. Among them, notable figures like Adah Sharma, Guru Randhawa, Anupam Kher, and Shankar Mahadevan were seen participating in the spiritual event. The ongoing Maha Kumbh has attracted many public personalities, who have joined millions of devotees for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Earlier today, actress and politician Hema Malini expressed her gratitude after immersing herself in the holy waters of the Triveni Sangam on Mauni Amavasya.
