Fact Check- 

We analysed the video carefully and found the logo of 99 Khabar on the microphone in the viral video, using this hint we conducted a keyword search which led us to a YouTube channel under the same name. We found a longer version of the viral video uploaded there on 29 January, 2024. The title, written in Hindi, roughly translates to, ‘Why beautiful girls are upset with Rahul Gandhi| Modi vs Rahul Gandhi Public Opinion| Loksabha Election 2024’. The woman in the viral video can be seen expressing her opinion in this video from the 6:55 to 8:00-minute timestamp.

However, the woman’s name or identity has not been reported in the video. We compared the image of the woman in the viral video with Subhashini Ali, you can see the comparison of both images below.

Upon further search, we found a clarification post made by Subhashini Ali on Twitter. She had reposted the viral video on 3 May and clarified that it was fake. She wrote, “This is a fake video attributed to me. Not me. Not my voice. Not my views. Have reported to ECI and police. Let’s see what they do.”
