Photo of Sadhguru with his daughter shared with misleading context

Hyderabad: A photo of popular yoga and spiritual guru Jaggi Vasudev, who is popularly known as Sadhguru, with a young woman sitting on his lap is being shared on social media with misleading context.

Taking a jibe at Sadhguru, a Facebook user shared the photo and wrote, “Very cultured baba ji.” (Translated)

A Twitter user also shared the photo with a similar misleading context.

Fact Check

NewsMeter found that the woman in the photo is Sadhguru’s daughter Radhe Jaggi.

On performing a reverse image search, we found two photos, including the viral one, tweeted by Sadhguru on Father’s Day in 2017. The first photo shows him with his father and the second with his daughter Radhe Jaggi sitting on his lap.

The caption read, “A fortune to spend an hour with my dear father and they tell me it is #FathersDay. -Sg.”

Further, we checked the Instagram account of Radhe Jaggi and found several posts of the father-daughter duo. One of the videos shows Radhe Jaggi taking the blessing of Sadhguru at Vijji Maa’s Samadhi. The caption reads, “Sadhguru and Radhe Share a Tender Moment at Vijji Maa’s Samadhi.”

From this, we conclude that the viral photo shows Sadhguru with his daughter. Hence, the claim is misleading.
