News Claim: A picture purportedly wearing a burqa of Haryana's motivational speaker and storyteller Devi Chitralekha, who has made lakhs of followers at a very young age, is going viral on social media. It is being said with the picture that she has married a Muslim youth who was her driver earlier.

अब समझ में आई बात..…..जागो

मोहतरमा चित्रलेखा का शौहर सही पढ़ा आप ने शौहर कभी चित्रलेखा का ड्राईवर था

और मुस्लिम भी है, शादी के बाद इसने अपना नाम माधव राज रखा, ताकि कथा बेंचने में कोई दिक्कत न हो और #_धंधा_आराम से चलता रहे,

शादी के समय ना मांग में सिंदूर ना माथे पर बिंदी ना गले में मंगलसूत्र और क्या कोई हिंदू महिला अपनी शादी में #श्वेत_वस्त्र धारण करती है?

ऐसे लोगों का हिंदू धर्म से बहिष्कार करें,।।

Now understand the thing........ _Business_go on comfortably, at the time of marriage, there is no demand for vermilion, no bindi on the forehead, no mangalsutra around the neck and does any Hindu woman wear white clothes in her marriage? Boycott such people from Hinduism.

News Verification: This is not a real image, as also clarified by Devi Chitralekha. This misleading claim had gone viral last year as well. This was denied on the official Facebook account of Devi Chitralekha at that time.,गलत अफवाहों को खारिज किया गया।
दिनांक 23 मई 2017 को गौसेवा धाम हॉस्पिटल के ही पावन प्रांगण में देवी चित्रलेखा जी का विवाह बिलासपुर, छत्तीसगढ़ के 'कश्यप गोत्रीय' कान्यकुब्ज ब्राह्मण परिवार में श्री अरुण तिवारी जी के सुपुत्र श्री माधव तिवारी जी के साथ हिंदू रीति-रिवाज़ों के साथ संपन्न हुआ।
कृपया अफ़वाहों को नजरअंदाज करें …!!!

The rebuttal post read, "Deviji is neither married to a Muslim nor is she a driver. On 23rd May 2017, the marriage of Devi Chitralekha Ji in the holy courtyard of Gauseva Dham Hospital was concluded with Hindu rituals with Shri Madhav Tiwari ji, son of Shri Arun Tiwari ji in the Kanyakubj Brahmin family of 'Kashyap Gotriya' Kanyakubj Brahmin family of Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. "

Reverse-searching the viral picture, we found the same picture on a fashion blog, which has pictures of Muslim brides dressed up.

 

It can be clearly seen that here a model is wearing exactly the same outfit and hijab, which is seen in the viral picture. The wallpaper on the wall in both the pictures is also the same. It is clear that in a picture taken from a fashion article on Muslim brides, the face of the model has been removed and the face of Devi Chitralekha has been replaced.

It clears that the claim of Chitralekha marrying a Muslim is false/fake. The photo that is being shared with this claim has also been prepared with the help of editing software. The original picture was of a model performing costumes for Muslim brides, in which the face of the Chitralekha was affixed.

News verdict: False
