However, as we investigated, we came to know that the person in the video was not the real Swami Vivekananda. Rather, it’s a clip from a movie. Here’s the fact check.

Fact Check 

We took a closer look at the viral video and it looked like a scene from a play or a movie. 

By using relevant keywords on Google, we found a video titled “Swami Vivekananda Chicago speech Recreation” on a YouTube channel called Vivekananda Samiti IIT Kanpur. The first 1 minute of the video was exactly the same as the viral video.

Further, we found a video uploaded on the YouTube channel of Sri Ramakrishna Math Chennai on 4 October 2018. The video was titled “Vivekananda By Vivekananda | Full Movie | Life History | English | Official”. We found the viral video at the 13:35 timestamp of the video.

After going through the description of the video, we are convinced that this video is from a movie produced by Sri Ramakrishna Math Chennai.

Conclusion 

From our investigation, we can say that the person in the viral video is not the real Swami Vivekananda. Instead, this is a scene from a movie.
