    Several news channels recently aired a viral video claiming it shows a bride slapping her groom after she saw him chewing gutkha (tobacco) during the wedding ceremony.

    Alt News ran a fact-check and found this footage has actually been clipped from an old comedy video uploaded by a verified YouTube channel last year.

    The channel mentions the visuals are part of a comedy skit in Maithili, a regional dialect in Bihar.
