In a shocking development, a video of actor Kartik Aaryan surfaced on social media on Monday that left people bewildered. In the viral video, the actor is seen endorsing Congress and its CM candidate Kamal Nath for the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections.

 

 

It is pertinent to mention that Kartik Aaryan has not endorsed Kamal Nath or Congress. He was not even aware that his video of him endorsing the grand old party and its leader is doing rounds on social media.

The video was originally shared by the OTT platform Disney+Hotstar last month for the ongoing ICC Men's World Cup. However, the same video was edited and dubbed in a manner that showed the actor supporting the political party for the upcoming state elections and instantly became viral on social media.

 

 

 

The original video depicts a billboard with Disney+Hotstar's images on it. However, the morphed video, on the other hand, displays Congress leader Kamal Nath on the billboard with the poll promise of two lakh government jobs and a free loan of ₹ 50,000. Further, it shows a woman highlighting other poll promises for women including free bus service, assistance of ₹ 1,500 per month, and LPG cylinders at ₹ 500. The voiceover in the video has also been done in a manner which benefits the campaign and aligns with the dialogues of the Gwalior-born actor.

 

 

The actor has reacted to a morphed video of him endorsing the Congress party in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh elections and called it "fake". He also took to X, formerly Twitter, to clear the air around the viral video. He shared the video of the original advertisement and wrote, This is the REAL AD @DisneyPlusHS. Rest all is Fake."
