WHAT WE FOUND OUT
We did a keyword search on Google using 'Raghav Chadha at Lakme Fashion show', and found a video uploaded by Fashion Design Council of India's (FDCI) official Instagram handle on 27 March 2022.
The photo has been taken from this 16 second long video.
On comparing the edited photo with the original video it is evident that the image has been altered to add makeup and colour to Chadha's hair.
Raghav Chadha's image was edited (left) to add some make-up and hair colour.
Clearly, the viral photo showing Raghav Chadha in make-up is digitally altered to mock the AAP leader.
