Circulated: A video “exploring,” according to claims, “street food in India.”

Fact: These scenes are not real, as they are AI-generated. FactCheck#

The footage shows a man with a large belly hanging over a huge pot containing soup. Then another man steps forward and dips his foot into the pot. The video recently spread on accounts with humorous and sarcastic comments in Arabic and other languages, such as “Wonders and oddities of India. Natural spices,” as well as “Beautiful Indian dishes,” and “Exploring street food in India.”

However, believing these scenes are real is mistaken.

Searching the video using still image tools (Invid) leads us to the Remix Master account on TikTok, which posted it on September 23, 2025, with a caption (translated from English): “Meet the Curry Master. In the middle of the village, a street food expert sits inside a huge pot. With a ladle in his hand, one spoonful is enough to fill your plate with unparalleled flavors. But here’s the surprise: for extra seasoning, another cook dips his foot directly into the soup. Locals say this is the secret ingredient that makes the flavor unforgettable. They whisper that this is not an ordinary recipe but a secret tradition passed down through generations, guarded by the expert himself.”

Continuing to read, we find a note attached by the account to the video: “The video creator classified it as AI-generated content.”

In fact, indicators in the video show this:

• Look at the man in the back left near the wall and how he moves strangely. Also, the hand of a woman standing to the left looks unnatural (timestamp 0:02 – Image 1).
• Did you see the hand with four fingers on the right side of the screen? (timestamp 0:06 – Image 2).
• Also, the man’s foot appears to have four toes as he places it in the pot (timestamp 0:08 – Image 3).

The Remix Master account describes itself as “an inspiring content creator on TikTok, sharing music, creativity, and entertaining videos.” He is known for AI-generated videos that garner several million views.

Several of his videos have previously spread with false claims, and An-Nahar has published fact-check articles about them.

Our final assessment: It is not true that “a man dipped his foot in a pot of soup on a street in India,” as seen in the circulated video. In reality, these scenes are not real, as they are AI-generated. The video was posted with this description by the Remix Master account on TikTok on September 23, 2025.
