  • A video of two people dancing to the song 'Besharam Rang' from the upcoming film Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone is going viral on social media. The claim: Journalist Rohan Dua shared the video on his verified Twitter account claiming that it showed Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari dancing to the song. (Archives of more claims on social media can be seen here, here, and here.) But..?: The video shows one Mehroz Baig, a media student from Pakistan's Karachi dancing to the song. Baig told The Quint that the video is of a wedding event that took place on 8 January in Karachi, where he performed with the bride's sister. How did we find out?: Using relevant keywords, we looked for more information regarding the viral video. The search led us to a report by Hindustan Times which carried the video, mentioning that a video of Bhutto's lookalike was going viral on social media. It identified the man dancing in the video as one Mehroz Baig, a media student from Pakistan's Karachi. A report by The Economic Times, too, identified the man as Baig. Taking a cue from these reports, we looked for Baig on social media. This took us to an Instagram account with the username 'mehrozbaigofficial,' which had shared the video on 12 January in collaboration with one Inaya Khan. We saw that this video was the same as the viral video in the claim, but shot from a different angle. Baig's account shared another video as a collaboration Inaya Khan, where the duo are seen dancing. Here, Baig appears to have added a jacket to his outfit for this performance. "This event took place on 8 January at Sunset Club, Karachi. I performed with Inaya Khan on her sister's wedding."Mehroz Baig Conclusion: The video does not show Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, but shows one Mehroz Baig dancing to 'Besharam Rang' from Pathaan.
