A video from outside filmmaker Sanjay Gupta's funeral in Mumbai has surfaced online, with a paparazzi page claiming it showed his daughter, Dalai, making an obscene gesture at paparazzi. The claim could not be confirmed.
The clip was shared by the paparazzi page Buzzzooka Scrolls with,"Sanjay Gupta's Daughter Shows Middle Fing@r to the Media!" on the video. It showed the girl in the passenger seat of a car, her face hidden with a hoodie.
She was seen laughing as the car passed the photographers gathered outside, and she raised her middle finger at them. The person driving appeared to try to stop her, but she carried on. Someone seated in the back also seemed to step in.

Several viewers questioned her behaviour at a funeral, and some asked why she was laughing. Others doubted that the girl in the video was Gupta's daughter at all. Since her face stays covered throughout, there is no way to verify the page's claim.
The video emerged on Saturday, as Gupta's family, friends and colleagues gathered to pay their last respects. Abhishek Bachchan, Farah Khan, Rakesh Roshan, Fardeen Khan and several others from the film industry attended before the filmmaker's final journey to the Versova crematorium.
