What Is The Truth Behind Viral Video Of This QR Code Mehndi Design For Raksha Bandhan?

This year, there is a lot of confusion about the correct mahurat for celebrating Raksha Bandhan.

It is a QR code design that has taken the internet by storm but is not exactly what it claims to be. Here’s the entire truth behind this viral video.

Ahead of Raksha Bandhan, a mehndi design went viral on social media and it was by an artist named Yash. In this viral video, the artist apparently scanned the mehndi design which was a QR code and it directly opened the payment page. While at first, this video might just intrigue you and make you think “Woah, that’s crazy,” stop, and take some time to notice the real truth behind this video. In the video, the person was not actually scanning the QR code but was simply playing an already recorded video. If you look closely, you will see the differences too. The viral video was shared on the social media handle of the Mehndi artist and in the comment section, many users pointed out that it is fake.
