However, there were others including actor Amitabh Bachchan, who felt that the picture was photo-shopped or staged. Commenting on the picture shared by photographer Atul Kasbeka, Bachchan tweeted, “With due respect and apology.. I feel this is photoshopped .. notice that the hand that holds the chappal is different than the rest of his body in size .. to his other hand by his side !!”

Earlier today, Kasbekar replied to the tweet with a possible explanation:

Amit ji 🙏🏽
Nice to hear from u

Checked wt 3 post prod experts independently

– Doo Creative, Hyd
– Khurshed Poonawala
– @HappyFinishAsia

All of them said it’s NOT photoshopped
The hand wt the chappal looking enlarged is a matter of perspective distortion standard on smartphones

And one of  a user pointed out the missing sandal from one of a kid in the group and made it clear that is not photoshopped :

It may not be photoshopped.. Look at the thugs kid second from left who is wearing only a single sleeper and the other one is in hand of the kid taking selfie. @SrBachchan pic.twitter.com/jXwn74HJCo

However, even it is made deliberately, it is true that those kids are happier than most of us in real life.
