An image of Nicolas Pooran causes an internet commotion regarding his possible Indian ancestry

Nicholas Pooran's exact genealogical roots are unknown, despite a popular photo on social media showing him alongside a newlywed couple who are ‌in traditional Bihari wedding dress. This image sparked speculation regarding Pooran's putative Bihar origin, although such claims should be approached with care. Official confirmation or solid historical sources are unavailable, making it difficult to fully determine Pooran's ancestral history.
