original video
In the video posted by Jassa on her Instagram, Sara is seen at the airport with her sister-in-law Sania Chandhok.
In the 17-second video, both Sara and Chandhok have their backs towards the camera and voices can be heard asking who is who. The second voice replied, “The one with the pearl is Sara, the one next to her is her sister-in-law” (“The one with the pearl” is Sara, the one next to her is her sister-in-law). The same text in the video was written in Hindi.
The video has been removed from Instagram, but netizens have caught wind of it, and the video is now viral on platforms like X.
