A video is being shared on Facebook through a post claiming it to be Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s last video. Let’s verify the claim.
Claim: Last moments of Sushant Singh Rajput before his death.
Fact: This is a TikTok video uploaded by a user named Ben Esqueda; it is a scripted video that does not feature Sushant Singh. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
After searching the internet with the relevant keywords, we found that many media outlets have debunked this video in 2020. These reports can be seen here, here, here and here. These reports mention that a US-based content creator Ben Esqueda originally uploaded the video on TikTok.
On further search on TikTok, the same video was found to be uploaded on the platform on 09 April 2020, almost two months before the death of Sushant Sing Rajput. The text on the video reads ‘When u fall in love in ur dream but then wake up to an empty bed.’ An archived version video can be watched here.
To sum it up, a scripted video is being shared as the video capturing last moments of Sushant Singh Rajput before his death.
