This speaks so much about the man and his values! Respect. Prayers and thoughts with the domestic staffer’s family. https:\/\/t.co\/Sb6kSzu8d1<\/a><\/p>\n

Other media outlets of The Times Group<\/em> like India Times<\/em><\/a> and Times of India<\/a><\/em> have published articles with the same narrative that the Bachchan’s paid last respects to a domestic staffer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Times Now<\/em><\/a> went a step further and reported<\/a> that “the bier was of their 40-year-old domestic staffer who died in Mumbai.”<\/em>\"\"<\/p>\n

This image is also shared on Facebook<\/a> with an identical context.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Multiple people posted queries on Alt News’s WhatsApp number, asking us to verify the image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unrelated image published with misleading context<\/h3>\n

Alt News found that the image now published by multiple media outlets of The Times Group<\/em> is an old and unrelated picture. The picture originally belongs to an incident where the Bachchans were lifting the bier of Amitabh Bachchan’s secretary Sheetal Jain earlier this month. It was also shared by Amitabh Bachchan himself via a blog post on his official Tumblr<\/a> account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sheetal Jain was also the producer of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, a Bollywood movie that starred<\/a> Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda. Jain died on June 8, 2019.<\/p>\n

\n

Sad news: Mr. Sheetal Jain is no more. He passed away this morning. pic.twitter.com\/g2lcF61WXk<\/a><\/p>\n
