Vishvas News investigated and found the viral claim to be false. This video is actually of a Bangladeshi dancer named Megha Queen and has no connection to India. The same video is now being misattributed to Sayoni.

Investigation
To verify the authenticity of the viral claim, we conducted a Google reverse image search using relevant keywords. This led us to a different version of the video on a YouTube channel called ‘@alltimenewsBangladesh’, shared on April 15, 2026. In the video, a poster is seen behind the stage, with ‘Baisakhi Mela’ written in Bengali with a photo of Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Tariq Rahman. This raised the suspicion that the video was from Bangladesh. We searched the YouTube channel and found that many videos of the dancing woman are also available on other channels. The woman in the video is identified as Megha Queen.
According to the available information, the woman seen in the video is Megha Queen, a professional dancer from Bangladesh. Her social media profile contains several videos of her dance performances. We also found this viral video there, uploaded in April 2026. Several other videos of the same event are also available on the channel.
We also found the viral video uploaded on a Bangladeshi YouTube channel, ‘Masti 24’, on April 30.
To verify further, we contacted Vishal Kumar, a reporter for Dainik Jagran in Kolkata, who confirmed that the viral claim is false.
What is the context?
Assembly elections in four states and one union territory, including West Bengal, were concluded in May 2026. The BJP formed the government in West Bengal after securing 207 seats in the 294-member Assembly and appointed Suvendu Adhikari as Chief Minister, while the TMC was reduced to 80 seats. Following this defeat, Sayoni issued a similar statement, saying, “We have not lost, but Mamata Banerjee has been defeated. She has been defeated by vote theft and vote plunder.”
Lastly, we scanned the Facebook account of the user who shared the video with the false claim and found that the user shares posts related to a specific ideology.
Conclusion: Vishvas News investigated and found that the viral claim regarding a video of a dancing woman is false. This video is actually of a Bangladeshi dancer named Megha Queen and has no connection to India. The same video is now being attributed to TMC leader Sayoni Ghosh.
