Viral Video Claiming To Show Aishwarya Rai Questioning PM Modi On India-Pakistan Aerial Clashes Is Doctored

A video circulating on social media claims to show actor Aishwarya Rai sharing a stage with PM Narendra Modi and questioning him about India’s alleged military and territorial losses during the conflict with Pakistan in May 2025.

In the clip, Rai is purportedly heard asking, “I want to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi why we lost 6 jets to Pakistan, why 4 Rafales were lost, why 2 S-400 systems were lost, and why parts of our boundary in Kashmir and Rajasthan were lost to Pakistan… Prime Minister, we know the film fraternity does not get involved in politics, but the nation demands answers.”

Evidence

No Credible Reports of Such Statements

A keyword search for “Aishwarya Rai,” “PM Modi,” and “India-Pakistan conflict” yielded no credible news reports supporting the claims heard in the clip.

Original Event Identified

A reverse image search of the viral video’s keyframes led to a YouTube video by ANI, whose watermark is seen in the viral clip, dated November 19, 2025.

This video shows Aishwarya Rai speaking at the centenary celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Andhra Pradesh, wearing the same attire and standing against the same backdrop as seen in the viral clip.

In the original speech, Rai thanks PM Modi for attending the event and refers to Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s teachings, and not to India-Pakistan relations or military matters.

DD News’ live stream of the same event, also dated November 19, 2025, shows no instance of Aishwarya Rai making the controversial remarks attributed to her.
