A screenshot of a WhatsApp message is widely shared on social media, claiming that the image seen in the message is of Professor Q, who was studying in Ukraine. When Russia invaded Ukraine, Prof. Q was stopped by the Russian army on his way back to India, then Prof. Q told that he is an Indian citizen. After this the Russian army let them go.
The text emebedded into the image reads: “ये हैं प्रोफेसर क्यू , जो यूक्रेन में रहकर पढ़ाई कर रहे थे। रूस ने यूक्रेन पर हमला कर दिया है और जब प्रोफेसर क्यू को भारत वापस आते समय रूसी सेना द्वारा रोका गया तब प्रोफेसर क्यू ने बताया के वो भारतीय नागरिक हैं। तो रूसी सैनिकों ने पूछा क्या आप उसी भारत के नागरिक हैं जहां के प्रधानमंत्री परम् आदरणीय तेजस्वी श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी हैं ? जैसे ही प्रोफेसर क्यू ने मोदी जी का नाम लिया , रूसी सैनिकों ने प्रोफेसर को पहले तो गले लगाया , बाद में चरण स्पर्श किये और सेवा सत्कार किया।” (English translation: This is Professor Q, who was studying in Ukraine. Russia has invaded Ukraine and when Professor Q was stopped by the Russian army on his way back to India, Professor Q told that he is an Indian citizen. So the Russian soldiers asked, are you a citizen of the same India where the most respected Tejasvi Shri Narendra Modi is the prime minister? As soon as Professor Q took Modi ji’s name, the Russian soldiers first hugged the professor, then touched his feet and honoured him)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be MISLEADING.
We traced a website carrying the same viral image and stating that it is of actor Ben Whishaw. The article headline reads: Ben Whishaw on the Intimidation of Playing the New Q in ‘Skyfall’.
We also found the same image in a video uploaded on the official YouTube page of James Bond 007. The video caption reads: “Bond (Daniel Craig) meets his new quartermaster (Ben Whishaw) in Skyfall . Filmed at The National Portrait Gallery in London, the painting they are admiring is J.M.W. Turner’s The Fighting Temeraire.”
We found out that “Benjamin John “Ben” Whishaw is an English actor who trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Whishaw is best known for his breakthrough role as Hamlet, his roles in the television series Nathan Barley, Criminal Justice, The Hour and London Spy; and film roles including Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006), I’m Not There (2007), Bright Star (2009), Brideshead Revisited (2008), Cloud Atlas (2012), The Lobster (2015) and Suffragette (2015). He has also played the role of Q in James Bond films starting with Skyfall (2012).”
Thus, it is evident that the image of a Hollywood actor is shared with false claims.
