Viral Video ‘Sir Sir Please’ Hoax Triggers Misinformation Debate Involving Justin D’Cruz and Sakshi Srinivas
A new scandal surrounding the video trend has swept social media sites like Instagram, Telegram and WhatsApp. This controversy is causing confusion and misinformation. This controversy revolves around an audio clip that has been widely shared online. Netizens mistakenly conflated it with a harmless video of Splitsvilla X4 Contestants Justin D’Cruz and Sakshi Shrinivas. Fact-checkers say that users have been frantically looking for an alleged 19-minute viral video clip of a teacher and student. The phenomenon is a clickbait hoax.
This confusion started when a video featuring Justin D’Cruz with Sakshi Srinivas appeared. The pair were having a conversation in which Justin’s shirt had been unbuttoned. This innocent exchange was incorrectly and quickly mislabeled as “a leaked MMS” by social media users. Since then, both reality show contestants have clarified the context of this footage and debunked the sensational allegations that swept Indian social media. The search terms for their names are still linked to a piece of false information known as “Sir Sir Please”, despite their explanations.

The “Sir Sir Please” trend is not the same as the clip of reality stars. It refers to a particular audio recording that circulates on X, formerly Twitter and other private messaging applications. This audio recording is associated with a viral video that does not exist. The video was allegedly based on an inappropriate exchange between a teacher and a student. The claims of a clip lasting 19 minutes and 34 seconds sparked a search for the full original video among internet users. Investigations reveal, however, that the blurred, unrelated images often accompany these descriptions to encourage clicks.
Experts say that the incident is similar to previous viral videos, like Payal Gaming viral video or Dubai MMS, in which non-existent or fake content was used for user curiosity. Media outlets responsible for reporting the story have stated that there is no evidence to support this alleged video. This trend shows the spread of fake stories in the digital ecosystem, in which single-cropped photos or misleading hashtags can be used to trick users into clicking on suspicious links that are promised via private messages.

Fact-checkers are urging the public, as the hunt for the video goes on, to be cautious and to avoid clicking unverified links that promise to access leaked material. This incident is a reminder that context online can easily be manipulated, transforming innocent interactions into sensationalized stories that spread lies and damage reputations.
