RNFS.exists always returns false even when image is present in gallery in react native

Question

I am trying to check the existence of an image in my mobile storage in my react native app. But even if the file is present it is returning false to me everytime. Am I missing something?Thanks in advance.

This is my imagepath

file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/4B92ACDC-8DD1-4713-A841-CAFEBD180525/tmp/FB1923E6-A008-4B68-8B8D-6415F247EF59.jpg

Code

RNFS.exists(imagepath).then((val)=>{
                              if(val){
                                console.log("Exists");
                              }else{
                                console.log("Does not exits");
                              }
                              
                          }).catch((error)=>{
                            console.log(error);
                          })
