Investigation
To investigate the viral video, we put this video on the INVID tool and extract its keyframes. We searched the keyframes on Google using reverse image search tool. We found the video uploaded on a Facebook profile in July captioned, “Song 6-Deewana hua badal: A duet of Rafisaab and Asha ji by Ananya Sabnis.” According to the post, the singer seen in the video is Ananya Sabnis.
We contacted Manisha Sabnis who uploaded this video. He said “My daughter Ananya is the girl who sings in the video. She is not related to singer Kishore Kumar.”
We searched the Internet with the keyword “Singer Ananya Sabnis”. We found lots of exclusive videos clarifying to that the singer seen in the viral video is Ananya Sabnis.
