An investigative report by The Guardian casts doubt on the accuracy of Jay Shetty's own narrative and educational qualifications. A British podcaster and life coach, Jay Shetty is under scrutiny after claims emerged that he plagiarized social media posts and lied about his life story about monkhood. He also had his ex-girlfriends come out exposing various lies about his past education. But how much are these claims a cause for concern among his followers? We take an unbiased look into the piece.
