Fact Check 

We started our investigation by taking some screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. This led us to the original video uploaded on the Instagram handle of actress Payal Yadhav. The caption was written in the Marathi language. According to the caption, Payal Yadhav paid tribute to Chhatrapati Shivaji in this video. 

We found the website of Rekha Gupta where it can be clearly understood that the woman in the viral video is not Rekha Gupta.

A comparison between the image of the Delhi CM Rekha Gupta and the woman in the viral video can be seen below.

It is worth mentioning that the woman in the viral video, Payal Yadhav, is a Marathi actress who is known for the movies Goal Maal (2023), Manvat Murders (2024) and Parees (2021).

This makes it clear that the woman showing sword-wielding skills in the viral video is Payal Yadhav, an actress.

Conclusion

From our investigation, we can say that the claim is false. The woman showing sword-wielding skills in the viral video is not the Delhi CM Rekha Gupta. She is Payal Yadhav, an actress who showed tribute to Chhatrapati Shivaji in the video.
