Recently, the electronic media outlet Channel Twentyfour broadcasted a report on its YouTube channel and Facebook page, attaching several images with the claim titled: “Shraddha Kapoor in a relationship with Aamir’s son and Sai Pallavi’s co-star, Narendra Modi’s son.”
The video claimed that rumors are swirling online about Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor being romantically involved with Rahul Mody, son of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Fact-check
The Rumor Scanner Team’s investigation found that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has no children. The widely circulated video’s claim that Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor is dating Rahul Mody, who is allegedly Narendra Modi’s son, is false. In reality, Rahul Mody is a Bollywood scriptwriter and assistant director. Due to the similarity in their last names, the video falsely claimed him to be the son of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In this regard, an article titled “Rahul Mody Age, Girlfriend, Family, Biography & More” on the website Stars Unfolded states that Rahul Mody’s father’s name is Amod Mody, who is involved in the metal fabrication business, and his sister Sonika Mody works in advertising. Rahul Mody, born on October 7, 1990, in Mumbai, is a scriptwriter and assistant director in Bollywood. He has worked as a scriptwriter and assistant director for Hindi films such as Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. Rahul Mody, who was born and works in Mumbai, has no familial relation to Narendra Modi.
The same information was also confirmed in a report published on the website Bollywood Shaadis titled “Who Is Shraddha Kapoor’s Boyfriend Rahul Mody”.
On the other hand, although Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is married, he has been living separately from his wife Jashodaben Modi for a long time. They, or Narendra Modi, have no children.
Therefore, the claim broadcasted by Channel Twentyfour that Shraddha Kapoor’s alleged boyfriend Rahul Mody is the son of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is completely false.
