“The video shows actor Sonu Sood publicly supporting RJD candidate Khesari Lal Yadav in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.”
What FACTLY found
The audio in the viral clip is externally added. In the original video uploaded on Sonu Sood’s Instagram account on 25 October 2025, he can be seen delivering a philosophical message about kindness, with no reference to politics or any political endorsement. There are no reports about the actor publicly supporting Khesari Lal Yadav’s candidature. The Hiya voice analysis tool also flagged the viral clip as a deepfake.
