You should know that Lord Krishna is the deity of crores of people in India and the world. Insulting someone’s faith is against the whole of humanity.” (Archived link)
भगवान श्री कृष्ण जी को माँसाहार का भोग लगाना, ये कुलक्षणी हरकत़ कोई निम्न स्तर की मानसिकता से ग्रस्त महिला ही कर सकती है।

आपको पता होना चाहिए कि भारत व विश्व में करोडो़ लोगों के अराध्य भगवान श्रीकृष्ण है। किसी की श्रद्धा: को अपमानित करना समस्त मानवता के खिलाफ है। pic.twitter.com/qpSKE6t5Mk

Fact Check
In our fact-check research, we extracted keyframes from the viral video and conducted a reverse image search. This led us to the original video, posted on November 22, 2023, by the channel Shampa Chakraborty. The video has garnered 1.8 million likes and 41 thousand comments, many of which mentioned people mistaking the biryani for chicken biryani.
Furthermore, we discovered that Shampa Chakraborty, also known as Mouli Chakraborty, who is a makeup artist, shared another video on December 25, 2023. In this video, she addressed the misconception surrounding the video from November 22, where she was seen offering biryani to Lord Krishna.
In the video, she states, “People are misusing a video of mine. For those who don’t know, I would like to clarify that in our home, we have several idols of Laddu Gopal and Radha Rani whom we serve. On that particular day, the video showed me offering a plate of vegetable biryani. This biryani was made from potatoes and paneer. I was feeding rice with potatoes and paneer to the deities. In fact, we had uploaded 2-3 videos clearly showing that it was made with potatoes and paneer.” Mouli was also seen slamming people who shared her video with false claims without even bothering to seek clarification from her about whether she was really serving chicken biryani.
Mouli Chakraborty, who has amassed 1.31 million subscribers on YouTube, often posts videos where she is seen offering vegetarian meals such as lentil-rice, rice and lentil porridge, puri with vegetable curry, and occasionally prasad made from fruits to Lord Krishna and Radha Rani.
Conclusion: The viral video depicting a YouTube influencer offering biryani to Lord Krishna and Radha Rani, with claims that she served chicken biryani, is false. In reality, the YouTuber was offering vegetarian biryani made from potatoes and paneer as prasad to the deities.
