Fact Check:
The claim is false. The man seen in the video is not Pakistan minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
When we observed the comments for some of the posts on social media, we found a few replies stating that the man dancing to the tune of Besharam Rang is a student named Mehroz Baig.
Some users tweeted an image extracted from the video and also shared the same on an Instagram account named Inayakhanofficial. The caption on the tweet reads: “Don't spread Misinformation. He's not Pakistan's Foreign Ministry Bilawal Bhutto. He's Mehroz Baig, a student of Iqra University (Karachi, Pakistan).”
When searching for Inayakhanofficial on Instagram, we found an account of a Pakistani actress and a beauty influencer from Karachi.
Here is a video of both of them dancing to another song wearing the same costumes. The man dancing in the video is Mehroz Baig from Karachi.
Here is the video that shows the couple dancing to Besharam rang.
According to his Instagram account, he is a media student.
Mehroz Baig’s YouTube channel has a longer version of the dance video.
Hence, the claim that the man in the video is Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is false. The person dancing to the tunes of Besharam Rang is a media student from Karachi.
