Moreover, Bill Gates has not shared any indications on social media that he is in India, which would be unusual if he were actually visiting the Mahakumbh. The billionaire is known for documenting and publicising his trips abroad, and when he visited India last year, the whole world knew of his whereabouts.
'That's not Bill Gates...'
Netizens have also been reacting to the viral videos, stating that the clips are fake, and the person in the video is not Bill Gates.
