A video which shows former first lady of Pakistan, Bushra Bibi, talking about a kiss with a person is being widely shared on the internet.

The post had over 2,000 shares on the platform, when this report was being written. (More archives of similar claims can be viewed here and here. )

Is the video real?: No, the video has actually been edited to morph Bibi's face on the body of a different woman. The original clip, which could be traced back to at least November 2022, showed a different woman talking about a kiss with a person.

Hints in the viral video: Towards the beginning of the video, we noticed that it glitched and the face of Bibi disappeared for a bit to show a different woman's face.

• On searching for it on Google, we found a YouTube channel with the same name and logo as seen in the viral video.

• The channel carried links to other social media profiles as well. We went through the Facebook profile and found similar visuals published on 23 November 2022.

• Its caption in Urdu, when translated to English said, "Rabia Pirni told the truth about what the media kept doing. After the kissing video, the anchor apologised to Rabia."

Conclusion: It is clear that the video has been digitally altered to morph Bushra Bibi's face on a different woman.
