Dhruv Rathee's Viral Surfing Stunt EXPOSED... But Not How You Think!
Dhruv Rathee’s viral surfing clip sparked an AI vs real debate. Here’s how he shut down the rumors with a BTS video.
INTERNET, EVERYWHERE — Dhruv Rathee, the internet's favorite explainer-in-chief, just dropped an Independence Day reel that has everyone talking, and screaming, "FAKE!" The video shows Rathee, looking patriotic in a red kurta, effortlessly surfing while holding the Indian flag. The clip is so slick, so perfect, that fans and haters immediately cried "AI!"
The comment section was an absolute warzone. "This is 100% AI," one user declared. "Bro thinks he's Mark Zuckerberg," snarked another, referencing the Facebook founder's own infamous surfing moment. The skepticism was so intense, it almost overshadowed the patriotic message.
But just when the internet thought it had him cornered, Rathee clapped back with the ultimate receipt: a behind-the-scenes video! He didn't just show the camera crew; he dropped footage of himself learning to wake-surf over the past four years—including all the clumsy falls and fails.
"It's not AI guys, I actually know how to surf," he stated, basically dropping the mic on the whole debate.
The reversal online was immediate. The mockery turned into massive respect. "Being mistaken for AI is the biggest compliment," one fan wrote. Another joked, "Bro had to make a whole BTS video just to prove he's got skills!"
So, what's the real story here? Dhruv Rathee isn't just a master of YouTube algorithms; he's apparently a master of the surfboard too. In a world full of deepfakes and filters, he just proved that sometimes, reality is the most shocking plot twist of all. What skill will he reveal next?
