A video circulating on Facebook since Tuesday, 17 February, has been falsely linked to Zaima Rahman, the daughter of Tarique Rahman. Posts claim the clip shows her dancing and describe it as a viral video of the Prime Minister’s daughter.
The claim has spread widely on Facebook over the past two days. Many users shared the short clip along with a photo card. Several captions state that the dancing woman in the video is Zaima Rahman.
However, fact-checking and review of the footage show that the claim is not correct.
Zaima Rahman Dance Video: What the Investigation Found
Investigators found that the video is not recent. It is an old clip from a different event. There is no verified evidence that Zaima Rahman appears in the footage. The identity of the young woman seen dancing in the video cannot be linked to her through any reliable source.
The video began circulating under the name “Zaima Rahman Viral Dance Video” after users on social media identified one of the dancers as her. This identification was made without proof. No official statement or credible confirmation supports the claim.
The findings show that an old video was reshared and a well-known name was attached to it. This created confusion among many viewers. As a result, the clip gained attention very quickly.
Who is Zaima Rahman?
Zaima Rahman comes from a prominent political family. She was born on 26 October 1995 in Dhaka. She is the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and former President Ziaur Rahman.
She studies in London and works in the legal profession as a barrister. Public discussion about her usually relates to her education and possible future political role. She is not known to be active on social media. She also keeps a low public profile.
Why do such rumours spread?
Experts say such rumours spread quickly online because well-known names attract attention. When a familiar name is added to a video or photo, it often increases shares and reactions. In many cases, old or unrelated content is reused in this way.
This incident follows a similar pattern. An old clip was reposted, and a public figure’s name was attached without evidence. The result was a misleading narrative that spread widely within a short time.
There is no verified information to support the claim that Jaima Rahman appears in the viral dance video. No credible source has confirmed her presence in the footage.
For Bangladeshi social media users, this case highlights the importance of checking facts before sharing content. Misidentifying individuals in viral posts can harm reputations and mislead the public.
As of now, the video remains online, but the claim linking it to Zaima Rahman has no factual basis. Readers are advised to rely on verified information and credible sources when encountering such posts.
