Himanta Biswa Sarma deepfake video — Oct 2026

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently utilized AI technology to share a viral video on his official Instagram account, depicting himself and two cabinet ministers performing the iconic dance moves from the 2012 K-pop hit Gangnam Style. The clip, which has garnered over 2.5 million views, features the Chief Minister alongside Agriculture Minister Pijush Hazarika and Finance Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah.

What happened

The AI-generated video replaces the traditional political rally soundtracks typically associated with the Chief Minister's public appearances with the global pop anthem by South Korean rapper PSY. In the footage, the three political figures are synthesized to perform the song's signature horse-riding dance. While the Chief Minister is known for his energetic dance routines at election rallies and campaign events, this instance marks a departure from his usual performances set to BJP campaign songs. The video has attracted significant attention online, highlighting the growing trend of using generative AI to create lighthearted, viral content featuring public officials.
