When searching further to know if the money is real or fake, a Money Control article about the food served at the inauguration event of NMACC is found. The article mentions the viral photo as bowls of “Dault Ki Chaat”, the legendary Delhi dessert, decorated with paper that looks like Rs 500 notes.
Another old photo of the ‘Daulat ki Chaat’ dessert is found posted by Priyanka Chopra on her Instagram page in 2019. And another image of the sweet with the backside of the 500 rupees fake currency is found tweeted by Rana Safvi in 2018.
In all the images of the ‘Daulat Ki Chaat’ dessert, it is mentioned as ‘Five Hundred Number’ instead of ‘Five Hundred Rupees’ in the 500 rupee note proving that the notes are not real.
Conclusion
It is found that the 500 rupee notes in the ‘Daulat ki Chaat’ dessert served at the NMACC inauguration hosted by Ambanis are not real but decoration paper. This image is falsely claimed as 500 rupee notes were used instead of tissue paper.
