A viral video (here, here, here, here and here) on social media claims to show a Muslim man named Salim, who allegedly hid his identity and married a Hindu girl using the name Ravi. The video shows police revealing his real identity to the girl and her family. Let’s verify the truth behind this video.
Claim: The viral video shows a Muslim man named Salim, hiding his identity as Ravi, being caught by police after marrying a Hindu girl.
Fact: The video is scripted content uploaded on 27 July 2025 by Monty Deepak Sharma, a content creator known for fictional videos. The same actors appear in multiple such clips, and no credible reports support the claim. Hence the claim is FALSE.
To find the truth, we performed a reverse image search on Google, which led us to the original video uploaded on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram by a content creator account named monty_deepak_sharma on 27 July 2025. The original video includes a disclaimer stating that it was made for entertainment purposes. The same account hosts several other scripted videos, confirming that this viral video is also scripted and not a real incident (here and here).
While checking the Instagram and Facebook profiles of this account, we found that the Facebook bio clearly states: “TV Artist. Broadcast. Bringing up new video projects every day. Enjoy shorts content/reels/video scenes from our released projects!!” The Instagram bio also describes the account as a reel creator.
Furthermore, we noticed that the individuals playing the roles of the policeman, the married girl, Salim (a.k.a. Ravi), and his mother in the viral video have appeared in several other scripted videos posted on Monty Deepak Sharma’s profiles (here, here and here).
Additionally, we searched using relevant keywords on Google but could not find any credible news reports of a real incident matching the events shown in the viral video. In the past as well, several scripted videos from Monty Deepak Sharma’s account went viral as real incidents, but Factly had debunked those claims too (here, here and here).
To sum up, this video showing a Muslim man marrying a Hindu girl by hiding his identity is a scripted video created for entertainment purposes.
