A post is being widely shared on social media claiming that entrepreneur and Shark Tank India judge Vineeta Singh had played the role of Raju’s Mother in ‘3 Idiots’ movie. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Shark Tank India’s Judge Vineeta Singh played the role of Raju’s Mother in ‘3 Idiots’ movie.
Fact: The character of Raju’s mother, Mrs. Rastogi, was played by actress Amardeep Jha. When a similar post went viral in 2022, Vineeta dismissed the claims sportively by acting in a meme video based on 3 Idiots movie scene. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
As per the end credits of the movie and IMDb, Raju’s Mother character (Mrs. Rastogi) was played by actress Amardeep Jha, 62. Vineeta Singh has not acted in this movie. As per Vineeta’s LinkedIn profile, at that time, she was working as a director for a private company.
However, when similar post went viral in 2022, Vineeta recreated the scene of ‘rising vegetable prices’ from 3 Idiots and tweeted, “All is not well! Stop with the Photoshopping”
To sum it up, Raju’s mother character in 3 idiots movie was played by Amardeep Jha, not by entrepreneur and Shark Tank India’s judge Vineeta Singh.
