Kumail Nanjiani shuts down absurd Michelle Obama affair rumour

Actor Kumail Nanjiani has publicly dismissed a bizarre rumour linking him to former US First Lady Michelle Obama. The false claim suggested an affair between the two, despite no evidence or prior connection. The baseless gossip began circulating in Nanjiani’s social circles last year. His wife, writer Emily Gordon, first heard about it from a mutual friend. The rumour gained enough traction for Nanjiani to address it directly. In a statement, the actor clarified he has never met Michelle Obama. There is no credible source, public record, or proof of a so-called 'common friend' spreading the story. The claim appears to be fabricated internet speculation without factual support. Nanjiani’s denial puts an end to the unfounded rumour. The incident highlights how quickly false claims can spread, even among private social networks. No further comment has been made by either party involved.
