However, some social media users expressed doubt over the claim that the artists are performing to ‘Jai Ho’, suspecting the video to have been manipulated.<\/p>\n

CLEVER! I don\u2019t believe that JAI HO! was really the soundtrack of this spectacular show in China. But it\u2019s fascinating to see mass choreography performed with such incredible precision. Could be computer graphics. Anybody know if it\u2019s real?

FACT CHECK: NO ‘JAI HO’ IN ORIGINAL VIDEO<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the original video, the artists are not performing to the song ‘Jai Ho’. Taking a frame from the video and reverse-searching in on Yandex yielded several results pertaining to the video.<\/p>\n

Alt News found that the video represents a martial arts performance by Chinese artists at the Spring Festival Gala, also known as CCTV New Year’s gala, a special programme produced by China Central Television (CCTV), the primary state television network in China. The Spring Festival Gala is held every year, with millions of viewers from across the globe tuning in. The video shared on social media depicts a performance of the 2019 festival, held in February.

It may thus be noted that the artists in the video are NOT performing to ‘Jai Ho’. The original video, taken at the Spring Gala Festival in China in February 2019, has been tampered with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
