The Truth About That of Payal Gaming MMS Leaked.

"Hey everyone, and this is just a heads up, but I'm sure you've seen it floating around on the web. There’s this video that’s been circulating with claims that it’s featuring popular gamer and YouTuber, ‘Payal Gaming’."

But here's the thing: it’s probably totally bogus.

Her fans are shouting it from the roof tops, and there is a very scary, very real reason for that. Let's take a closer look at what is really happening, and here is how you can stay safe online.

Wait, What Video?

Over the past few days, videos and screenshots of a private video have been spreading like wildfires on social media platforms like X (Twitter). Some videos falsely reported that it was a video of Payal Gaming, a popular gamer with the actual name Payal Dhare.


She had barely put out the message when her massive followers responded. Social media was filled with tweets such as:

“Do not spread this fake news.”


“That girl is not Payal Gaming.”


“It is not right to make AI video for views and impression."


The key word which applies here? Deepfake.

"What is a Deepfake? (It's Scarier Than You Think)"

Deepfakes are videos or images into which an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm has inserted one person’s facial or bodily area, making it seem as if they did or said something when they did not.

"It is like ‘the world’s most sophisticated, most dishonest Photoshop’ for video." They can make it as if a celebrity is dancing, a politician is making a fake speech, or in some instances, such as this one, a content creator is in a private video when they are not."

"This is the huge red flag. Her fans aren’t just saying ‘she wouldn’t do that.’ They’re saying the technology itself has been used to create this lie."

What is Payal Gaming, anyway?

Just to be clear, Payal Gaming is one of the biggest stars in the Indian gaming world. She is not just an ordinary person; she is a professional.

She has more than 4.5 million subscribers to her channel on YouTube.

She's an advanced mobile gamer and also frequently participates in gaming teams and has been recognized internationally.

She posts photos with celebrities and is a legit celebrity in her own right.

Currently, she is reportedly located in Dubai and has not issued a statement with regards to said video. However, the fact that her loyal fan base is fighting against it so hard speaks volumes already.

This Isn’t the First Time (And That’s the Scary Part)

“Here’s why all of us need to pay attention: This is part of a scary pattern,” she said.

Not long before this, another content creator, Sweet Zannat, had been through the same thing. There had been a ‘19-minute viral video,’ and it had somehow been associated with her name. The need was there for her to come out publicly and say, ‘That is not me.’

Digital security specialists are constantly reminding us of these trends. These “leaked” videos are either one of the following:

Clickbait for Scams: These are potentially dangerous because these clicks can direct you to websites designed to steal information or install malware on your computer.

Defamation: They are used for reputation damage to a public figure by posting a false, embarrassing video of a person.

What Does This Mean For You & Me?

Thus, why should you care if you’re not a Payal Gaming fan?

Believing is Harmful

Sharing or believing these fakes is an act of harming an actual person. Sharing these can lead to spreading more false information. This can result in the victim facing serious emotional problems.

It Could Be Anyone: It may be a famous YouTuber. It may be used to bully someone in your school tomorrow, create fake pics to embarrass someone, or scam people in your family. It is a dangerous tool.

Your Click Matters: Every time you click on one of those ‘shocking leaked video’ links, you’re putting power into the hands of the folks who make such things.

The Bottom Line: Be Smart, Not a Spread

Here is your Action Plan:

PAUSE before you share. If it sounds too shocking or like it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Try and find the source. Are reputable news sources talking about this? Or is it just random tweets and shifty websites?

Listen to the fans. In instances such as the one mentioned in the introduction to this chapter, the fans are the ones to turn to when it comes to getting the correct information. This is the group that understands the person’s style the best and is more aware

Remember the tech. Deepfakes are real, and they are convincing. Just because you see it doesn't mean it happened.

The internet can be a wonderful place, but there are darker corners of the internet too. What is happening to Payal Gaming is a wake-up call for us all. We can and must be the generation that resists misinformation, not one that spreads it mindlessly.

Protect yourself, protect others, and question what you see online.
