A video (here, here, here, here and here) of a woman speaking to the media about winning a medal has gone viral on social media, with claims suggesting that she is Rasha Thadani, the daughter of actress Raveena Tandon, and that she won the 80+ kg category at the 2025 Boxing Cup finals. Let’s find out the truth behind this video.
Claim: The viral video shows Rasha Thadani, daughter of Raveena Tandon, winning a gold medal at the 2025 Boxing Cup in the 80+ kg category.
Fact: The woman in the video is Nupur Sheoran, the silver medallist at the 2025 World Boxing Championships. Multiple media outlets and the official Olympics website, identified her correctly. There is no evidence that Rasha Thadani is a professional boxer. Hence the claim is FALSE.
To find the truth, we performed a reverse image search on Google, which led us to the same video uploaded by several media outlets, including ANI and other social media handles (here, here and here). They identified the woman in the video as Nupur Sheoran, the silver medallist of the 2025 World Boxing Championships. The video was recorded after she won the semifinal, securing a silver medal for India.
Further research led us to reports from several media outlets (here, here and here), including the official Olympics website, which reported the same information, identifying the woman as Nupur Sheoran. According to these reports, Nupur delivered a dominant performance in her World Boxing Championships 2025 semifinal in Liverpool, convincingly defeating Turkey’s Seyma Duztas. Her victory secured her a place in the women’s 80 kg final against Poland’s Agata Kaczmarska, a seasoned European medallist.
Further, we reviewed the details about Rasha Thadani, the daughter of Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon and film distributor Anil Thadani. Reports indicate that she holds a first-dan rank in Taekwondo and practices martial arts, but we found no evidence suggesting she is a professional boxer. Additionally, a comparison between the woman in the viral video, Nupur Sheoran, and Rasha Thadani clearly shows that the person in the video is Nupur Sheoran, not Rasha Thadani.
To sum up, the video of Nupur Sheoran, the silver medallist at the 2025 World Boxing Championships, is being falsely shared as Rasha Thadani winning a gold medal.
