Fact Check:
The photos show Swiss actress Ursula Andress and American actress Marilyn Monroe and are not of Sonia Gandhi.
NewsMeter performed a Google lens search of the first picture and found the names of Ursula Andress and Sean Connery tagged with the image. The photo was taken on the set of Dr. No.
We then performed a reverse image search on the other set of viral images and found that they were tagged by various websites as that of Ursula Andress and Marilyn Monroe. (Click here to view them)
Hence, it is clear that the photos do not show Congress chief Sonia Gandhi as a bar waitress. The claim is FALSE.
