From India to Bangladesh, from Arohi Mim to Anjali Arora; Why These MMS Videos are Getting Viral
Over the past few months, South Asia’s internet has seen a pattern: private and public videos, including MMS messages and clips of social media stars and celebrities, have quickly become viral videos. Names like Arohi Mim and Anjali Arora are frequently found in social media, online search results, and on messaging platforms. Although each case is unique, some common factors explain why a video becomes viral. These include digital behaviors, platforms, algorithms and online gaps.
Curiosity is one of the main drivers behind viral videos. Users often forward or click on content in the age of instant-sharing and short-form content, without checking its authenticity. A video that is associated with an established face, whether it’s a TV personality, content creator, influencer or other, naturally gets more attention. The curiosity of this sharing drives rapid distribution, sometimes within minutes across WhatsApp, Telegram and Instagram.

Social media algorithms also play a significant role. Platforms promote content that receives rapid engagement. Algorithms may boost a video’s popularity once it starts to gain views, comments or shares. This will allow it reach broader audiences. Even discussions on a supposedly clip, without the clip, can make the topic, and turn the narrative into a viral moment.
In addition, it is essential to note that some videos are not authentic. In the past, falsely linking old videos, morphed videos, or completely unrelated content to people has been done in several incidents. The misinformation ecosystem thrives on sensational headlines, shock value and clicks. The line between rumor and real reporting is often blurred as a result. This contributes to the rapid spreading of viral videos.

Digital consumption across borders is also essential. Due to the shared language, culture, and social media platforms, content from one country is easily transferred into another. A viral video in Bangladesh may quickly become popular in India and vice versa. The Internet has removed geographic barriers but has also accelerated the spread of private and sensitive material.
Consistently, experts emphasize that these trends are a serious concern for privacy and safety online. It is nearly impossible to stop a viral video from spreading, whether the content of that video is true or false. Even if the allegations later prove to be false or clarified, victims often suffer reputational damage, emotional distress and other long-term effects.
These incidents are a constant reminder of the need to be responsible with digital media consumption. The users are urged to refrain from sharing unverified content, ask questions about sensationalized claims, and maintain their privacy. Platforms are under pressure from users to improve content moderation and to respond quickly to abuse.
The rise in viral videos based on MMS is not about individual users, but rather about our collective participation in the digital ecosystem. Media literacy, awareness, and restraint are the best tools for preventing the next viral video from causing harm.
