A Bengaluru woman's video of getting  her husband's name tattooed on her forehead has been fact-checked and verified to be fake and staged. In a clip released on Instagram, the woman, identified as Raksha, was seen getting the name tattooed on her forehead, while sitting on a chair.

The tattoo artist first wrote the name on paper and pasted the paper on Raksha's forehead before zeroing on a final font size. The tattoo artist then began to use the tattoo machine to add ink to the woman's forehead.

When the tattoo process started, the woman was seen feeling uneasy and even started to stop the artist by using hand expressions.

The clip went viral with many users calling her out. But it was all for show, it was later found out. The woman, in several videos after the supposed forehead tattoo, was seen without any ink on her face. When approached and asked by fact-checking website BOOM, the woman said that it was just a staged video for content.

She said, "It is not a real tattoo. We have not got it done. It is just an impression. We made it as a content."

While many in the comments section seemed to believe that it was a real tattoo, her recent posts with a clean forehead must have provided people with clarity on the clip being staged only for views.
