FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FALSE. 

Doing a simple Reverse Image Search, our team identified the Jagran website carrying the original image, dated September 25, 2023. The original image shows Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde standing between Salman and SRK. Neither of the actors is wearing a tilak on their foreheads. The article reads: “Salman and Shah Rukh went to Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde’s house to have darshan of Ganpati Bappa and got photographed with Eknath. Many Bollywood stars went to Shinde’s house to have darshan of Bappa.”

The video report associated with the viral image is available on the official YouTube channel of ‘Viral Bollywood’. Uploaded on September 25, 2023, the video shows Salman and Shah Rukh without any tilak on their foreheads, and CM Shinde standing between them.

Several other media organisations have also published the same image. by

Thus, it is evident from the above information that the viral image showing Shah Rukh and Salman wearing tilak is fake.
