A video circulating on social media shows AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi performing Hanuman arti with several people, including a priest, by his side. Users shared the video widely, claiming it to be authentic.
evidence
We looked for media reports about Asaduddin Owaisi visiting temples or performing aarti, but we could not find any news to support it. If that were the case, not only the footage of him playing arti, but also the news related to it would have been widely discussed in the media and political circles.
visual discrepancy
A closer look at the video reveals some irregularities that suggest it’s probably not real.
- Even though the camera angle is the same, the aarti scene changes. For example, Owaisi initially appears to be playing aarti from the left side, but when the scene zooms out, his angle changes to a frontal perspective.
- Other than the movement of his hands, Owaisi’s expression remains unchanged. The same goes for the priest and other attendees.
- The background text says “Hanuman Meadha” (हननुमान मीदर) instead of “Hanuman Mandir” (हनुमान मंदिर). This is an anomaly typically associated with images generated by AI.
Presence of Gemini logo
In the bottom right corner of the video, you’ll see a logo that corresponds to Gemini, Google’s AI model. This typically only appears when the content was created using a model, indicating the AI origin of the video.
