A video of the Brazilian model, who gained attention for her role in Rahul Gandhi's vote theft scandal, has surfaced. She shared the video on her social media account. While sharing the video, the model is speaking in Portuguese. She jokingly says, "Guys, I'm going to tell you a joke. This is very bad. Are they using my old photo?"
The model says, "My photo is old; I was young then. People are using my photo to vote in India. They're calling me Indian to fight each other. Look how strange this is! I only know Namaste."
During this, the woman claimed that she had never been to India, so how could she vote?
It's worth noting that Rahul Gandhi has claimed this model to be a voter in Haryana. Rahul Gandhi stated in a press conference on Wednesday that this model has multiple names and that 22 votes were cast in the 2024 assembly elections using voter slips bearing her photo.
Find out what the Brazilian model said...
I have to learn Hindi: In the shared video, Brazilian model Larissa said, "I made this official video for the people of India. Now I have to learn some Indian words as well." What are these words? I only know "Namaste." What other words should I learn?
I will become famous in India: The model further said, "I will become famous in India. Can you believe it? I will become famous. Got it? That's all I have to say on this issue. Now it's very serious. That's all I have to say on this issue." Earlier, the model said, "Do you think I look Indian? I think I look Mexican."
I'm not even a model: In another video, Larissa revealed that Indian journalists were trying to contact her to get her reaction to the use of her photo. She insisted, "Many Indian journalists are looking for me and want to interview me. I've replied that I'm the so-called 'mysterious Brazilian model,' but I'm not even a model."
Larissa will speak Hindi in her next video: On a lighter note, Larissa then said she plans to learn some Indian words to increase her popularity in the country. She added, "I only know 'Namaste.' I don't know any other words right now, but I need to learn some. I'll use them in my next video. I'll soon be famous in India."
I like Indian people very much: Larissa said, "I have nothing to do with Indian politics. My photo was purchased from a stock image platform and used without my permission. This is not me; I've never even been to India." He clarified in a video, adding, "I'm a Brazilian digital influencer and hairdresser, and I love Indian people."
Rahul Gandhi said, "Brazilian model casts vote in Haryana."
Rahul Gandhi alleged at a press conference at the Congress office in Delhi on Wednesday that 2.5 million votes were stolen in the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections. He showed a photo of a woman. He questioned, "What is this Brazilian girl doing on the Haryana voter list?"
He showed a presentation and claimed that this Brazilian model cast her vote 22 times in 10 booths during the Haryana elections under the names Seema, Sweety, and Saraswati. Another woman voted 100 times in one assembly constituency. Thus, 2.5 million votes were stolen.
Rahul Gandhi did not name the Brazilian model. However, her photo was uploaded by photographer Matheus Ferrero to the free stock image platform Unsplash.com, where Rahul retrieved the image. The model's photo was first shared on March 2, 2019. It was published in 2017 and has been viewed more than 59 million times and downloaded more than 4 lakh times under the Unsplash license.
