A video circulating on social media shows a couple walking away on a road while a distressed man chases after them, pleading with his daughter not to leave. The video is being shared with the claim that it captures a real-life incident of a helpless father desperately trying to stop his daughter from eloping. However, upon verification, it has been confirmed that this video is not an actual event but a scripted production.
Sharing the video on X (Formerly Twitter), @HamaraPrasad wrote, “Witness a Father’s Agony. A father, overwhelmed with joy at the birth of his daughter, cherishes her as his Mahalakshmi (Goddess). He works tirelessly, ensuring that no hardship ever touches her shadow, raising her with utmost care and love. But then, she falls for a worthless man who cannot even afford his own underwear, forgetting the love and sacrifices of the father who nurtured her. What should we say about such daughters? Tomorrow, when that man fulfills his needs and abandons her, the father’s struggles will begin all over again. With a heart full of pain, the father pleads: “Don’t go with a man who cannot even lift food to his own mouth with all four fingers.!” A heartbreaking incident from Tamil Nadu.” Later, he deleted the post.
Several other users, influencers and propagandists have also disseminated the video and made similar claims. Their posts can be seen here, @jpsin1, @KajjoKajal, @zain_faathi.
The truth about the video shared as father pleading with his daughter, Fact Check
As soon as the posts containing the video and claims came to our notice. Subsequently, we conducted research and analysis of the video. We found that the video was not a real-life situation but scripted content.
To verify the claims made by the users. Initially, we performed a reverse image search of some key frames from the viral video using Google Lens but couldn’t find any credible sources. Furthermore, upon closer observation of the video, we noticed the logo of Sai Vijay. Taking a cue from this, we found Sai Vijay’s Instagram and YouTube channels. Upon visiting timelines, we found the same video (1, 2, 3). Upon verification, it has been confirmed that this video is not an actual event but a scripted production created by content creator Sai Vijay and his team. It is purely fictional and has no connection to any real-life occurrence.
Additionally, At the beginning of the video, it includes a disclaimer that reads, “THIS CHANNEL IS BASED ON PRANK WHICH IS PLANNED AMONG FRIENDS AND FAMILY THIS WILL NOT HURT ANY PUBLIC OR CREATE ANY PUBLIC TROUBLE IT’S PURELY ON ENTERTAINMENT AMONG OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY CIRCLE HOPE YOU ALL WILL ENJOY”.
Therefore, it is evident from D-Intent Data’s Fact Check that the video was scripted, not a real-life situation.
