Kajal Kumari is one of the youngest and most promising faces in the Bhojpuri entertainment industry. Born in 2010 in Vikramganj, Bihar, the 15-year-old has already carved a niche for herself through music videos, short reels, and live performances. Known for her energetic dance moves and charming presence, Kajal has collaborated with some of Bhojpuri cinema’s biggest names, including superstar Khesari Lal Yadav.
Her social media following, especially on Instagram and YouTube, has grown rapidly over the past year, with fans admiring her vibrant performances. Apart from acting, Kajal also sings at regional cultural events and is considered a multi-talented performer with immense potential.
Recently, Kajal found herself at the centre of a storm when a so-called ‘private’ video allegedly featuring her began circulating on social media. It first appeared on Telegram and certain Bhojpuri fan pages, spreading rapidly across platforms like Instagram and YouTube under misleading titles.
Within hours, the clip had been viewed millions of times, with hashtags like #KajalKumariVideo trending on X (formerly Twitter). However, several digital experts quickly pointed out discrepancies in the visuals, mismatched lighting, distorted pixels, and inconsistent facial details, all pointing towards artificial intelligence manipulation.
Kajal’s family soon came forward with a heart-wrenching statement, calling the video fake and part of a larger extortion plot. According to them, unknown individuals demanded ₹30 lakh to remove the video from online platforms. They shared screenshots of the threats as proof and appealed to the public to stop spreading false content.
Kajal herself released a short video on YouTube, tearfully denying the allegations and urging fans to believe the truth. “Someone is trying to ruin my reputation with an edited video. Please don’t fall for it,” she said. Her family also warned of legal action if the culprits were not exposed.
Off-screen, Kajal Kumari is known to be a grounded and ambitious young artist who dreams of becoming a playback singer in Bhojpuri cinema. Her determination and growing experience in the entertainment industry have already opened doors to new music projects and film offers.
Kajal’s family consists of her mother, brother, and sister, who all reside in Vikramganj, Bihar. Her father, currently on medical rest, continues to be a strong emotional pillar in her life. Despite challenges, her family’s constant support has helped Kajal remain focused and positive.
In 2025, Kajal’s estimated monthly income ranges between ₹2.5 to ₹4 lakh, a combination of earnings from digital streaming, live performances, brand sponsorships, and music collaborations. Her growing popularity in the regional circuit has made her one of the most sought-after young talents in Bhojpuri entertainment.
Although Kajal’s name has occasionally been dragged into online controversies due to misidentified clips, she has handled every situation with composure. She has publicly clarified that her only focus is her career and passion for music.

Digital forensics teams and Bhojpuri fan communities have verified that the viral clip was indeed edited using AI tools. Experts noted inconsistencies in the background and facial features, confirming that the girl in the video was not Kajal.
This incident echoes previous controversies involving Bhojpuri actresses like Akshara Singh and Trisha Kar Madhu, who were similarly targeted by fake and morphed videos, causing them severe emotional distress.
The Kajal Kumari case highlights the darker side of social media, how technology and AI can be misused to defame and exploit individuals, especially young artists. Her story is a reminder that while digital fame can come quickly, it also demands caution and empathy from audiences.
