Claim: Video of Akshay Kumar crying at the sad state of an infant on life support.

Fact: Both the video clips in the viral post are unrelated. In August 2022, Akshay Kumar attended as a guest on SET India’s Superstar Singer Season 2. He cried while watching a video of a Raksha Bandhan message from his sister. The video of an infant on life support has been in circulation on the internet since May 2019. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.

We performed a reverse image search on the screenshots of the video and found several YouTube videos of the infant on life support. Some of them have a Tik Tok watermark on them. These videos from 2019 can be seen here, here and here.

Upon searching the internet with relevant keywords, we found that the video clip of Akshay Kumar was from August 2022.
