FACT CHECK 

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

Searching with keywords on Google regarding the actor’s comments on ‘Indonesia-RSS’, the NM team could not find any report indicating that Prakash made such remarks

Furthermore, on August 26, 2024, the actor addressed the viral claim in a post on his X account. Responding to a post by Megh Updates that repeated the same viral claim, Prakash clarified that the statement was not made by him.

“If it’s you @MeghUpdates.. or whoever has created this.. own it up. THIS IS NOT MY STATEMENT don’t put your statements in my name #justasking,” Prakash wrote in his X post.

Thus, it can be concluded saying that as Prakash Raj has not made any such statement, the viral claim is completely baseless.
