A viral video claiming that a Russian woman travelled to Bihar to marry a man from Bhagalpur has been widely circulated on social media and reported by several media platforms. Local content creators have also posted dozens of videos about the alleged love story, drawing millions of views. However, the story is entirely false. NDTV investigated the viral video and found that the woman and the man featured in it had been misrepresented.
The viral video claims that a man named Rahul from Bhagalpur travelled to Russia for work, where he fell in love with a woman named Julie. According to the posts, Julie has now travelled to Bihar to marry Rahul, with the couple reportedly planning their wedding in November.
The video shows a foreign woman walking around the courtyard of a modest house. The narrative of a man from a poor family falling in love with a foreign woman appears to have helped the story gain traction online. Some also claimed that the couple planned to marry in November 2026 and that their families had agreed to the union.
However, NDTV's investigation found that the claims accompanying the video were false.
