Fact Check
NewsMeter found that the woman in the video is not Nora Fatehi. The video featured Georgiana Loredana Gavrila, a Romanian Instagram influencer.
Using a reverse image search on keyframes from the video, we traced the source to a reel shared by an Instagram account with the name Georgiana Loredana Gavrila (loredanag.30). The same footage was shared as part of her regular content as part of her travels.
Georgiana Loredana Gavrilaās Instagram profile showed multiple such videos where she interacted with people in public spaces. Nowhere did she claim or impersonate Bollywood celebrities, and the reel in question also doesnāt reference Nora Fatehi in any way.
We also found her YouTube channel with the same content.
This false claim appeared to have originated from a superficial resemblance between the influencer and Nora Fatehi. The misleading captions were likely added to grab attention and increase engagement on social media.
Who is Georgiana Loredana Gavrila?
Georgiana is a social media influencer known for creating lifestyle and travel content. She frequently shares videos featuring candid interactions with people in various countries. The woman seen in the viral clip is wearing a similar outfit and has the same hairstyle as in her other recent Instagram videos.
Hence, we concluded that the viral video does not show Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi. It features Instagram influencer Georgiana Loredana Gavrila. The claim is false.
