To Investigate the video, we search the Internet with relevant keywords like “Shahrukh dance at Wedding” and Shahrukh marriage dance” which led us to a number of Shahrukh dance videos on youtube.
While scanning the videos on youtube we came across a video which seems identical to the viral clip.
The video was a youtube short clip posted on 12 July 2022 by a person name Ibrahim Qadri on his official youtube channel @IbrahimQadri.
