PIB fact check on Tuesday debunked the digitally manipulated video of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh circulated online by Pakistani propaganda accounts, falsely claiming that he made remarks supporting Israel's attack on Iran.
On Friday, the actor took to his X account to share a statement, revealing that the viral video was a "patched-up version" of an old advertisement he had done for an OTT platform. According to Bajpayee, the clip was edited in a way that made it appear to deliver a political message.
