We broke down the video using Invid software and reverse-searched one of the key frames on Google. Although we could not find the source of the viral video, we found two similar videos (1 and 2) posted on Instagram in November 2022 by @pankajbihar789 and @saregamahumbhojpuri, tagging the official Instagram handle (@yaminisingh_official) of Bhojpuri actress Yamini Singh. Yamini Singh also commented on both the Instagram posts.
