FACTLY reports that the viral video was digitally altered using AI. It says the original footage was a November 2023 Amazon Prime Video advertisement in which Bajpayee discussed show recommendations, not an RJD campaign. The review also quotes Bajpayee calling the circulated video a fake, patched-up edit of his advertisement.[S1]
