PM Modi’s makeup before addressing the nation? No, it’s a video of Madame Tussauds team taking his body measurements

• Anusha Rao

A video is shared on social media with a claim that it shows Prime Minister Modi’s makeup preparations before his announcement of a 20 lakh crore economic relief package in his recent speech on 12 May 2020. But, FACTLY found that the video is related to the visit of the Madame Tussauds team to take body measurements of Prime Minister Modi for making his wax statue. The name ‘Madame Tussauds’ on the makeup box and the document bearing the name of ‘Madame Tussauds’ as its title can be noticed in the video at 0:03 and 0:08 respectively. Earlier, when the same video was falsely shared with a similar claim, FACTLY debunked the claim and it can be read here.
