In the video, Chadha mentioned that he walked the ramp for FDCI Lakmé Fashion Week for his maternal uncle and fashion designer Pawan Sachdeva.

On comparing the edited photo with the original video it is evident that the image has been altered to add makeup and colour to Chadha's hair.

Clearly, the viral photo showing Raghav Chadha in make-up is digitally altered to mock the AAP leader.
