Angel Nujhat or Angel Nuzhat? The Truth Behind the Viral 12-Minute Video Search Trend

As the "12-minute viral video" trend dominates social media searches across Bangladesh and India, a major confusion has emerged regarding the identity of the influencer at the centre of the controversy. Major news outlets and social media posts are flooding the internet with the name "Angel Nuzhat."

However, a closer look at the actual social media profiles and search data reveals that this is a widespread error. The influencer's real name is Angel Nujhat, and the misspelling has become a key part of the viral misinformation cycle.

Here is the fact check on her correct identity and why the spelling matters.

The Fact Check: Angel Nuzhat vs Angel Nujhat

Evidence Analysis of Angel Nuzhat Viral Video Reporting:

Verified TikTok ID of Angel Nujhat: @angelnujhat.07

Verified Profile: As seen in the above screenshot, the creator's official handle on TikTok is clearly @angelnujhat.07. Her content consists of standard lip-sync and lifestyle videos, typical of the platform.

Media Error on Reporting Correct 'Angel Nujhat' Misspelling The Name

Media Error: Search results from major news outlets (like News18, India.com, and NewsX) consistently use the incorrect spelling "Angel Nuzhat". This suggests a "copy-paste" reporting cycle where outlets are replicating an initial typo without verifying the primary source.

Why News Sites Are Getting It Wrong

The error is a classic case of an "SEO Echo Chamber."

Initial Typos: Early search queries likely misspelt "Nujhat" as "Nuzhat" (a common phonetic variation).

Trend Jumping: As "Angel Nuzhat" started trending on Google, news blogs and spam sites began using the misspelt version to capture that search traffic, ignoring the spelling on her actual profile.

The Result: Now, the incorrect name (Nuzhat) has more search volume than her real name (Nujhat), effectively burying her actual identity under a mountain of clickbait reports.

Journalism Ethics: The Cost of 'Copy-Paste' Reporting

As the confusion spreads, a critical question arises about the state of digital journalism in South Asia. In the race for clicks, many media outlets are failing the most basic test of their profession: verification.

Here is the original report by LatestLY from February 11, anticipating the growing trend and potential scam: Angel Nujhat '12-Minute' Viral Video Link is a New Cyber Scam: Fact Check. 

The 'TikTok Ban' Blind Spot in India:

A major factor fueling this misinformation is the ban on TikTok in India. Since the platform is inaccessible to Indian users and journalists without VPNs, many Indian media outlets cannot easily access the primary source, Angel Nujhat's official profile, to verify her name or content. Instead of investigating, some outlets resort to "scraper journalism," blindly copying reports from other unverified blogs. This creates a feedback loop where the wrong name becomes the "accepted truth."

The 'Angel Nuzhat 12-minute Video' Spam Trap:

Cyber-criminals thrive on confusion. By circulating a misspelling like "Nuzhat" alongside highly specific details (like a "12-minute video"), they create a new, unverified keyword that has no competition. When legitimate news outlets report on this misspelling without correcting it, they inadvertently validate the scam. They signal to Google and readers that "Angel Nuzhat" is the correct term, driving even more traffic to the malicious "Ghost File" links set up by hackers. Alina Amir to Arohi Mim '7:11, 4:47, 3:24, or 19 Minutes 34 Seconds' Viral Video Traps: Why Governments Must Act Now.

The Danger of the "Angel Nuzhat" Keyword

There is a darker side to this misspelling. The keyword "Angel Nuzhat" is now almost exclusively associated with the "12-Minute Viral Video" scam.

Ghost File Trap: Cybersecurity experts warn that searches for "Angel Nuzhat" lead to malicious websites hosting "Ghost Files", fake video downloads that install malware or steal banking data.

Identity Hijacking: The real creator, Angel Nujhat, is a TikTok content creator. The "leaked video" scandal attached to the misspelled name is a fabricated hoax designed to exploit her popularity.

The Correct TikTok ID: If you are looking for the content creator, her real handle is @angelnujhat.07. If you see links promoting a scandal involving "Angel Nuzhat," proceed with extreme caution. You are likely engaging with a typo-squatting cyber-scam that relies on your confusion to infect your device.

From 'Angel Priya' to 'Angel Nuzhat'

Reporting on this confusion brings back a wave of 2000s nostalgia. For the OG netizens of India, the name "Angel" followed by a generic surname isn't just a typo; it’s a flashback. Before we had sophisticated "Ghost File" scams and malware traps, we had the legendary "Angel Priya."

Back in the golden days of Facebook and Orkut, "Angel Priya" was the undisputed queen of fake profiles. If you were an Indian boy in the 2000s, you likely sent a friend request to an Angel Priya, only to realise later that "she" was actually a 'Rahul' from Ghaziabad looking for a free mobile recharge.

It seems history is repeating itself, but the stakes have changed.

Then (Angel Priya): Wanted your attention and a ₹10 talk-time top-up.

Now (Angel Nuzhat): Wants your banking credentials and a malware install.

We have officially upgraded from "Heartbroken Angel" seeking friends to "Viral Angel" seeking victims. Instead of falling for the same old trap, let’s leave the "Angels" in the past where they belong.
