Rishi Sunak has become the Prime Minister of Britain. As soon as Sunak became the Prime Minister, many of his videos and photos are getting viral on social media. A video is going viral in which it is claimed that Sunak is dancing after becoming the Prime Minister. A user shared this video and wrote – ” #Rishi Sunak dances after becoming the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom”

Fact check:
To analyze the originality of the viral video the DFRAC team converted the video into several frames. Then reverse image search of those frames. On searching, it was found that the person seen in the video is not Rishi Sunak but former Indian cricket team fast bowler Ashish Nehra.

Ashish Nehra did this dance when Neeraj Chopra gave India a gold medal in the javelin throw at the Olympics. The video was uploaded on YouTube on August 8, 2021. The title is “Sunil Gavaskar and Ashish Nehra dancing after Neeraj Chopra’s gold medal win”. Apart from Nehra, other former cricketers including Sunil Gavaskar and Ajay Jadeja can be seen in this video. After Ashish Nehra, Sunil Gavaskar also danced to the song “Mere Desh Ki Dharti Sona Ugale, Ugale Heere-Moti”.
Conclusion:
It is clear from the verification of DFRAC that the dance getting viral is not of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak but of Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra. Therefore, the claim made by social media users is misleading.
