Fake Pictures Alert! These Pictures Of Golden Temple Are Going Viral On The Internet, Even Big B Shared One
Thanks to Social media for the instant news and happy photographs, earlier on 26th January on the eve of Republic Day, the world’s tallest man-made building ‘Burj Khalifa’ in UAE was lit up with Indian tricolor flag. Addition to this, a popular patriotic single from ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Jai Ho was played during the occasion.
Now, there are some annoying things that mislead people, and imagine if a well-praised personality, unfortunately, shares this hoax news? Yes! this is what exactly happened the on Diwali at Golden Temple, Amritsar.
While it is assumed that the Internet has a waist full of knowledge to offer and a handful of crap to flavor our curiosity, most of the day to day things we acknowledge on the social media are fake, well, not always. And this picture tops everything in such aspect.
Check out the picture-tweet that is going viral,
