Last week, a video of prime minister Modi dancing garba with women went viral on social media and sparked controversy. But now it is revealed who is dancing in that video. Before the video of prime minister Modi dancing Garba, a deepfake video of actress rashmika Mandhana was released and created a stir. Actor amitabh bachchan and many others were against this. The central government had also warned that strict action would be taken if such a video was produced. Meanwhile, a video related to prime minister Modi was also released.
Speaking to reporters in Delhi, prime minister Modi said, "I don't do garba dance after leaving school. I am also a victim of deepfake video. He requested that the media should create awareness among the people in this regard. At first, it was assumed that the deepfake video was released with prime minister Modi as well. However, it has come to light that the video is not a deep fake and it is Vikas Mahande, a businessman who looks like the Prime Minister. Vikas has explained this.
Vikas Mahante runs a steel packaging business in Malad, Mumbai. As he resembles Modi in appearance, his influence in the society also increased. It has also become customary to invite Vikas to the specials of their homes because of Modi's appearance. That's how Pankaj Soda's family in london invited Vikas Mahant to come to london to participate in the pre-Diwali festivities. Vikas Mahante danced Garba dance with Pankaj Soda family in those functions. It was captured on video. This later paved the way for controversy.
Vikas clarified about the video last Monday. Vikas Mahande, who is 10 years younger than the prime minister, released a video clarifying the mistake. "I am often invited to programs in india and abroad where I try to convey Modiji's thoughts and ideas. The video is not fake. I want to make it clear that I, Vikas Mahante, am in the video. I am a businessman and an artist," he said.
A video of him dressed like the prime minister is going viral on social media. Such photos and videos create a false image of the prime minister dancing. Vikas says gujarat mla Ramanbhai Bhatkar introduced him to Modi in Gandhinagar in 2013. Vikas is busy attending various events called by bjp supporters. He has participated in 8 shows including the one in london in november alone. Vikas said that he is booked to engage in election work from December. Vikas would stand in the trucks accompanying the bjp workers for election work and collect votes and speak if necessary. He is expected to do so this time too.
