Taking to his X handle, Manoj revealed that the viral video is an old advertisement he did for Prime Video India. "I would like to publicly state that I have no association or allegiance with any political party. The video being circulated is a fake, patched-up edit of an ad I did for @PrimeVideoIN. I sincerely appeal to everyone sharing it to stop spreading such distorted content and urge people not to engage with or encourage such misleading content," the post reads.

Soon after, his fans flooded the comment section with support for the actor. A user wrote, "In today's digital age, deepfakes and deceptive editing are a genuine threat to every public figure's reputation.

Another wrote, “This is why celebrities are moving courts to protect their ‘personality rights’." A section of the internet asked The Family Man actor to file a defamation case against RJD members.
