Upon encountering the glaring misspelling of Karan Johar's name in the BBC report's thumbnail image shared in a viral tweet, Newschecker raised several questions. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the claim of Kriti Sanon promoting an exchanging platform alongside Karan Johar on BBC. However, no credible reports of such an event were found. Moreover, the URL of the purported report led to https://amirasaloon.com/, which is not associated with the official BBC website, indicating its dubious nature.
Further scrutiny was applied to the alleged exchanging platform, Everix Edge, reportedly endorsed by Sanon. This investigation involved cross-referencing with Trick Indicator, a reputable online fraud prevention resource. The platform was flagged as "Questionable. Contentious. Dubious," with a low trust score. According to the review, the site exhibited high-risk activities associated with phishing, spamming, and other nefarious elements.
A deeper search uncovered multiple news reports from December 2023, wherein Sanon refuted claims of endorsing any trading platforms on Karan Johar's talk show, Koffee With Karan 8. She took to Instagram stories to denounce the false reports, stating they were fabricated with malicious intent. Sanon emphasized that she had never discussed any trading platform on the show and had initiated legal action against the dissemination of such misleading and defamatory articles. She urged everyone to remain vigilant against such deceptive and slanderous reports.
