An X user shared a video claiming it depicted ISRO Chairman S Somanath and scientists celebrating Chandrayaan-3's successful lunar landing on August 23. However, PTI's Fact Check revealed the video was from an older event related to a G20 gathering in July. The video showed Somanath and others dancing during a cultural program. Multiple users posted the same video with the false claim after Chandrayaan-3's landing. The video's authenticity was disproven by comparing it to Somanath's post-landing speech. The video captured a joyful moment at a G20 event and was unrelated to Chandrayaan-3's success.
