The claims

Here's some clarity on whether Prabhas donated to Ram Mandir

Adding fuel to the fire was Andhra Pradesh MLA Chirla Jaggireddy claiming at an event that Prabhas did step forward to donate towards the upcoming ceremony for Ram Mandir. He said at an event, “The one who earns money and decides to share it with others is great. Prabhas is one such person, he has agreed to donate money to Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He has agreed to sponsor the food for the people attending.”

However, Prabhas’ team spoke to India Today and called it all “fake news.” The Salaar and Adipurush actor neither donated a large sum to the temple nor agreed to sponsor food on d-day, they confirmed to the publication.
