Reality TV star Prince Narula found himself at the centre of online confusion after a video allegedly showing his “arrest” went viral on social media on Thursday. The clip led to widespread speculation, with many users believing the popular television personality had been taken into police custody.
What the viral video shows
The widely shared video shows Prince Narula surrounded by police personnel, apparently being escorted away, prompting rumours of his arrest. The visuals quickly spread across platforms, triggering concern and curiosity among his fans.
However, the claims accompanying the video were misleading.
What is the truth?
According to clarifications shared by Prince Narula and reports by entertainment media, the viral video is not related to a real arrest. The footage was recorded during the shooting of a project, where police presence was part of a scripted scene.
Sources close to the actor confirmed that the video was taken out of context and falsely presented as a real-life incident. Prince Narula himself reportedly dismissed the rumours, assuring fans that he was safe and not involved in any legal trouble.
Social media reacts
Despite the clarification, the video continued to circulate widely, highlighting once again how easily misinformation spreads online, especially when it involves celebrities. Many fans expressed relief after learning the truth, while others criticised the reckless sharing of unverified clips.
A reminder on viral misinformation
The incident serves as another reminder for social media users to verify information before sharing sensational content. Short, out-of-context videos can easily create panic and false narratives, particularly when public figures are involved.
