We began our search with the reverse image search on Google and the results led us to several news reports featuring the same viral image. These reports identified her as Shaikha AJ Al-Sabah, an avid yoga practitioner and the founder of Kuwait’s first licensed yoga studio, ‘Daratma,’. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met her along with other influencers from the Gulf country on 22 December 2024.

We also discovered a tweet from PM Modi on 22 December, 2024 in which he described his encounter with Shaikha AJ Al-Sabah.

Moving forward, we found that DD News shared the video of the meeting with a title, “India’s PM Narendra Modi interacts with prominent Kuwaiti influencers.”

Thus, it is evident that the woman in the viral image with PM Modi is Shaikha A J Al-Sabah, a yoga practitioner in Kuwait, not the queen of Kuwait as claimed. 

Conclusion

Fact Crescendo found the claim along with the viral image to be False. The woman in the viral image is Shaikha A J Al-Sabah, an avid yoga practitioner and founder of the first licensed yoga studio ‘Daratma’ in Kuwait, not the Queen of Kuwait.
