Mishra, however, strongly denied the reports and also threatened legal action against media houses that published his photo in connection with the story.
Amit Mishra wrote on X, “I’m extremely disappointed by what’s being circulated in the media. I’ve always respected the press, but while the news itself may be accurate, the photograph used is mine— which is completely incorrect. Using my image for unrelated stories must stop immediately, or I will be forced to take legal action.”
In an exclusive interaction with IANS on April 22, Mishra said, “This is truly disheartening to see what’s being circulated. My photo has been used in a fake news story. I am unmarried, and that’s well known— yet such baseless stories are being published with my image. What are these media houses even doing? If they don’t correct their mistake, I will take action against them. My family is deeply disturbed by this. This is not journalism.”
Voicing his support, Mishra’s coach Sanjay Bhardwaj also slammed the irresponsible reportage, urging media outlets to exercise due diligence. As quoted by News18, Bhardwaj stated, “Amit Mishra is unmarried. Why such a story was circulated is beyond our understanding. This is not journalism. They should verify facts before publishing such reports.”
