A viral post circulating on social media claims that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that the phrase "Jai Shree Ram" has been written on Facebook 200 crore times. The post, which includes an image of the Hindu god Ram and Zuckerberg, reads: "Mark Zuckerberg claims that each and every day at least 200 CRORES 'Jai Shri Ram' are written on Facebook. Let's add a few more thousands here, please. Jai Shri Ram Jai Shri Ram Jai Shri Ram!!"
No Evidence to Support the Claim
However, this claim is entirely false and has no factual basis. There are no reports or credible sources where Zuckerberg has made such a statement.

The post seems to have gained traction during the time of the Ram temple bhoomi pujan in Ayodhya. Despite its spread, there is no legitimate evidence to suggest that Zuckerberg ever made this claim. While the phrase "Jai Shree Ram" may have seen a spike in usage during the bhoomi pujan week, its popularity quickly declined before and after the event.
A search of Facebook's official blog and newsroom, where the company posts updates, announcements, and media resources, also yields no results for the phrase "Jai Shree Ram." This further confirms that the viral claim is baseless.
In conclusion, the assertion that Zuckerberg claimed "Jai Shree Ram" was written 200 crore times on Facebook is a complete mis-represa ration or fake news.
