Payal Dhare, the well-known gaming influencer, who is also called as Payal Gaming, is the center of attraction on social media because of some unverified rumors that have linked her to a private video that has gone viral. All the while, the question of the video’s genuineness remains unanswered.

The whole thing started when a video deemed private was passed around in different places, and some people were claiming that the lady in the video is none other than Payal Gaming. Along with this, various screenshots and small parts from the supposed MMS have been released on the internet. Rumor that has been along for so long and has gained very much support, however, the claims have been denied so strongly by Payal's fans stating that the video is probably a deepfake or an imitation of the original footage made purely for clicks.

Up to this point, there has been no official confirmation on the identity of the person in the video.

Who Is Payal Gaming?

Payal Dhare is an Indian gamer and streamer that is very well known. She started her journey in 2019 through YouTube where she gained rapid popularity and became one of the most influential personalities in the Indian gaming community. Her colorful character and live streams have made her a star. Besides playing games, she is also making videos on BGMI, PUBG, and other multiplayer games like GTA V which are really hot right now.

The growth of her channel was truly beyond anyone's expectation, and in 2021 she was already a million subscribers kind of a girl. She got to be the very first Indian female gamer to gain three million followers on YouTube. Additionally, Payal has a partnership with S8UL Esports, which is among the best known Indian esports organizations.

In 2024, her fame skyrocketed when she was granted an award at the MOBIES (Mobile Gaming Awards) which was a great leap for Indian female gamers in the international scene and a recognition for the whole Indian gaming industry.

Meeting With the Prime Minister

Last year, Payal Gaming had an exceptional opportunity to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and theonly female gamer who was present at this event. She made a strong point for the future of gaming in India and said about gaming that it is a reliable and stable source of income, especially for women who have to face social or family restrictions against traditional employment.

MMS Controversy Explained

The entire debate centers around a few videos that are said to be the “19-minute clip” or the “40-minute video”, and these videos are pointed to the influencer by social media users who are mistaken. The fans and supporters have been urging the public to not spread unverified or offensive materials and to be careful with the rumors as they can have very serious implications.

Cyber safety specialists and the police have been advising people not to send these kinds of material, since the videos' source and authenticity are still not verified. The whole situation has raised once again the issue of digital ethics, privacy infringements, and the exploitation of AI-based deepfake technology.

There are many who think that Payal might be a target of the malicious deepfake content, as they point out that the few creators have already been accused similarly without any proof.

Official Response Awaited

As of now, Payal Gaming hasn’t provided any official statement regarding the going around claims. Until the moment there is verified information, fans and digital safety advocates keep on calling for restraint, responsibility, and respect for online privacy.
