Fact Check: Far from his last, this Sidhu Moose Wala interview with Sonam Bajwa is more than a year old

A viral video of actress Sonam Bajwa in conversation with Sidhu Moose Wala is not the late Punjabi singer's last interview. India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) found that the video was more than a year old.

The assassination of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, better known as Sidhu Moose Wala, has shocked the nation. He was shot multiple times in the Jawaharke village of the Mansa district in Punjab on May 29.

Amid fans expressing shock and grief on social media, a video of an interview featuring the Punjabi singer was shared widely with the claim that this was Moose Wala’s final interview before his death. In the video, actor Sonam Bajwa spoke to Moose Wala about his struggles in the music industry.

But was this his “last interview”? The India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) found that the video was more than a year old and was definitely not the last interview the 28-year-old musician gave.

A quick search led us to the original video of the interview from March 2021 on Zee5’s website. The 42-minute long interview was from a talk show “Dil Diyan Gallan” hosted by Bajwa. In it, Bajwa and Moose Wala discussed his life, career, and music. He also addressed controversies surrounding him.
