RJD's Fake Ad Fury: Manoj Bajpayee Slams Use of His Video in Bihar Poll Campaign

This special report covers actor Manoj Bajpayee's response to a doctored video used in a political campaign by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for the Bihar elections. Bajpayee clarified his stance on Platform X, stating, 'I would like to publicly state that I have no association or allegiance with any political party'. The manipulated clip, reportedly shared by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and later deleted, was an edited version of an old advertisement Bajpayee had filmed for Prime Video. The incident has drawn attention to the circulation of misleading content and the unauthorised use of celebrity images for political endorsements, a recurring issue during election seasons in India. Bajpayee urged the public to stop sharing the distorted content to prevent the spread of such misinformation.
