A viral social media post has alleged that actress Sonakshi Sinha is pursuing an agenda against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Sanatan Dharma. A fact-check of the claims found that some of the individual incidents referenced in the post are based on real events, but there is no concrete evidence linking them to a political or religious agenda. The reason for Sinha allegedly unfollowing Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma also remains unclear.
Claims Made in the Viral Post
The viral social media post makes several allegations against Sonakshi Sinha. It claims that the actress supported a student protest associated with Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) because the protest allegedly had an anti-BJP stance. The post also questions her alleged silence on a student movement in Jharkhand.
The viral claim further alleges that Sinha unfollowed cricketer Virat Kohli and actress Anushka Sharma for religious reasons. Social media users have attempted to link the alleged unfollowing to Kohli and Sharma's religious beliefs and spiritual activities. The viral narrative also includes filmmaker Aditya Dhar's laughing reaction to a post related to Sinha's burger.
However, establishing a political or religious agenda from an individual's social media behaviour or reactions to separate posts requires independent and concrete evidence.
Sinha's Reaction to the Student Protest
One part of the viral claim relates to a real event. In July 2026, photographs and videos of police action during a student protest in Delhi surfaced on social media. Following this, Sonakshi Sinha shared some photographs related to the protest on her Instagram Story.
This confirms that Sinha publicly reacted to the student protest. However, it does not establish that she did so as part of a campaign against any political party or religious community.
Reacting to a protest or student movement does not, by itself, constitute conclusive evidence of support for or opposition to a particular political ideology. No concrete evidence has emerged to support the broader political agenda attributed to Sinha in the viral post.
Claims About Sinha's Silence on Jharkhand Students
The viral post also highlights a student movement in Jharkhand. Protests related to recruitment examinations and disputes involving JPSC and JSSC have been reported in the state. The post claims that Sinha reacted to the student protest in Delhi but did not raise her voice on issues concerning students in Jharkhand.
However, establishing that a public figure did not post about a particular issue is not straightforward. Similarly, the absence of a public reaction to an issue does not establish that the person deliberately remained silent for political reasons.
Based on the available information, there is no evidence establishing that Sinha ignored issues concerning students in Jharkhand because of a political ideology. Therefore, this part of the viral post cannot be presented as a conclusive fact.
Claim About Unfollowing Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma
One of the most widely discussed claims in the viral post concerns Sonakshi Sinha, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. Social media users have claimed that Sinha unfollowed Kohli and Sharma because of religious reasons.
Discussions about Sinha's following and unfollowing of Anushka Sharma have appeared on social media previously. The two have also had interactions on social media. Sinha had shared Sharma's post related to dog welfare on her Instagram Story.
Recent social media claims alleged that Sinha had unfollowed Sharma again. Some users subsequently attempted to connect the alleged unfollowing with Kohli and Sharma's spiritual activities, particularly their visit to Vrindavan and meeting with Swami Premanand Maharaj.
However, the key fact is that Sonakshi Sinha has not publicly stated why she unfollowed Anushka Sharma. Therefore, linking the alleged unfollowing to religious beliefs remains speculation on social media and is not an established fact.
Earlier Social Media Interactions
Earlier social media interactions between Sinha and Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have also been cited in the viral discussion. In 2021, Sinha praised Kohli for his stance in support of cricketer Mohammed Shami.
This earlier interaction makes it more difficult to draw a definite conclusion about the reason for any alleged current unfollowing. People may follow or unfollow accounts for various personal, technical or private reasons. Unless the person concerned publicly explains the reason, it is not appropriate to treat one particular explanation as established fact.
Aditya Dhar's Laughing Reaction
The viral post also refers to an alleged laughing reaction by filmmaker Aditya Dhar. The claim states that Dhar gave a laughing reaction to a post related to Sinha's burger.
The reaction was discussed on social media, but a laughing reaction to a particular post does not, by itself, constitute evidence of a political or religious allegation. Aditya Dhar has not made any credible public statement accusing Sinha of pursuing an agenda against the BJP or Sanatan Dharma.
Therefore, drawing conclusions about the actress's political views or religious position solely from a social media reaction would not be justified.
Sinha's Marriage Included in the Viral Narrative
Sonakshi Sinha's personal life has also been incorporated into the viral narrative. The actress married actor Zaheer Iqbal on June 23, 2024. The couple married under the Special Marriage Act.
Following their marriage, various reactions to their interfaith marriage appeared on social media. On different occasions, both Sinha and Iqbal have spoken about their respect for each other and their families.
An interfaith marriage or a relationship with a person from a different religion does not, by itself, establish an individual's political views or demonstrate a political agenda. Therefore, linking Sinha's marriage to an alleged anti-BJP or anti-Sanatan agenda is also not factually justified.
References to Kangana Ranaut's Earlier Statements
The viral discussion also attempts to connect earlier statements by actress and Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut with Sonakshi Sinha. However, there is no clear evidence that Sinha was directly named in the statements being referenced.
Associating a general statement with a particular individual and then presenting it as evidence against that person can be misleading. Therefore, Kangana Ranaut's earlier statements should not be presented as a direct allegation or an exposure against Sinha.
Findings of the Fact-Check
An examination of the individual claims in the viral post shows that some have a basis in actual social media activity. Sinha did share a post related to the student protest, and there was also social media discussion concerning Aditya Dhar's reaction.
However, there is no evidence that connects these separate incidents to establish that Sonakshi Sinha is pursuing an organised agenda against the BJP or Sanatan Dharma. Sinha has also not publicly explained the reason for allegedly unfollowing Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.
Likewise, there is no concrete evidence that Sinha's alleged silence on issues concerning students in Jharkhand was motivated by political intentions.
