OF MORE CLAIMS ON SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE SEEN HERE, HERE, AND HERE.)_ BUT..?: The video shows one Mehroz Baig, a media student from Pakistan's Karachi dancing to the song. HOW DID WE FIND

OUT?: Using relevant keywords, we looked for more information regarding the viral video. * The search led us to a report by _Hindustan Times _which carried the video, mentioning that a video

of Bhutto's lookalike was going viral on social media. * It identified the man dancing in the video as one Mehroz Baig, a media student from Pakistan's Karachi. * A report by _The

Economic Times, _too, identified the man as Baig. Taking a cue from these reports, we looked for Baig on social media. * This took us to an Instagram account with the username

'mehrozbaigofficial,' which had shared the video on 12 January in collaboration with one Inaya Khan. * Next, we compared a recent photo shared by this account to a recent video

Bhutto shared while attending the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, which showed that the man in the video is not Bhutto. * Baig's account shared another video as a

collaboration Inaya Khan, where the duo are seen dancing. * Here, Baig appears to have added a jacket to his outfit for this performance. Mehroz Baig's account has several other videos

that show him dancing on different occasions. The Quint reached out to Baig on Instagram, where he confirmed that he was the man seen in the video. > "This event took place on 8 

January at Sunset Club, Karachi. I > performed with Inaya Khan on her sister's wedding." Mehroz Baig CONCLUSION: The video does not show Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Minister
