A video claiming to show that a woman in Punjab has given birth to six babies – four boys and two girls – is gaining traction on social media. The shows six women coming out of the labour room of a hospital carrying the babies and then line up with all six of them for a picture-perfect moment. The visual, as usual, evoked positive emotions online and people stated posting congratulatory comment for the woman. But some curious users questioned the incident and sought news reports to confirm it.
The incident occurred in Rawalpindi where a woman named Zeenat Waheed gave birth to four boys and one girl, as reported by Dawn . One user points out that the video is not from Punjab and has been created by using AI-generated photos and merging videos from elsewhere.
“This photo has gone viral on the internet earlier with various claims, like the same photo was used when a woman (Komal) in Gujranwala, Pakistan gave birth to 5 children,” the user said in the comment. The post appears to build on an “extremely rare” case of the birth of sextuplets in Pakistan. The outlets said the six children were healthy with no complications.
