Fact Check
NewsMeter performed a reverse image search which led us to the Instagram account of Kiran Dembla who had uploaded the same video and tagged @savinagabriella.
We then searched Instagram for 'Savinagabriella' and found her page. She had posted the viral video on 19 May 2021 with the caption, "Just for you to feel the vibe and energy of this place. I feel at home. #jampa #streetworkout #reelsinstagram." From this, it is evident that the video is of Savina Gabriella.
