Fact check:

The image has been morphed. The claim that it is a rare image showing Jawaharlal Nehru with Legendary actor NT Rama Rao is FALSE.

When we performed a reverse image search using Google, we found the original image of Former Indian PM Jawaharlal Nehru sitting beside Mahatma Gandhi engrossed in a discussion.

On theGetty images website, the original image was published with the description "Jawaharlal Nehru, the newly elected President of the All India Congress, talking with Mahatma Gandhi, Indian political strong man, at a meeting of the Congress, Bombay, India"

This image has been regularly used by many publications on various occasions in their articles over the years. It can also be found in Alamy stock photos.

When observed carefully, the pose of Jawaharlal Nehru in the viral image and the stock image is the same. Even the way he is holding the glasses in his hand is the same. The viral image appears to be hazy and pixelated compared to the original image. Here is the comparison of the original image and the viral image.

But when we tried to find out the original image of the legendary actor N T Rama Rao that was used here, we were not able to find it.

This image has been debunked by Factly.in, in January 2020.

Hence, the image being shared as the rare picture of Former Indian PM Jawaharlal Nehru with Legendary actor N T Rama Rao is a Morphed image and the claim is FALSE.
