Internet in frenzy! Aryan Khan’s rumoured girlfriend Larissa Bonesi flooded with comments after netizens confuse her with Rahul Gandhi’s 'vote chori' mystery woman

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday dropped what he called 'H-Bomb' by alleging large-scale voter fraud in the last year Haryana assembly elections, in his latest installment of 'vote chori' charges against the Modi government.

Rahul claimed that 25 lakh votes were “stolen” in a state with roughly 2 crore registered voters — a figure he said translates to one in every eight votes being fake, or about 12.5 percent.

In the middle of his fake voter charge, the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition presented a photograph of a woman and said her image appeared 22 times in the voter list—under different names such as “Seema”, “Sweety”, “Saraswati” etc.

“She votes in 10 different booths in Haryana under multiple names. This clearly shows a centralised operation,” the Congress leader claimed.

He claimed that the image belonged to a Brazilian model and that it was used in Indian electoral rolls to bolster the fake-vote allegation.

Now several Indian social media users mistakenly assumed the woman in the photograph as Larissa Bonesi, who is the rumoured girlfriend of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's director son Aryan Khan.

Netizens flooded Larissa's recent Instagram posts with comments like "Rahul Gandhi Support Button", "You are famous in India", "You vote in 22 times in India" et al.

Now the woman in question has emerged and broken her silence.

The woman in the photograph has the name 'Larissa' but she is a different person, a Brazilian influencer and hairdresser.

In a video message, the original Larissa claimed she never went to India and said as quoted by India Today, "I have absolutely nothing to do with politics in India. My photo was purchased from a stock image platform and used without my involvement. It’s not me, I’ve never even been to India."

"I’m a Brazilian digital influencer and a hairdresser, and I love the Indian people," she added.

The Brazilian influencer's Instagram profile too was flooded with comments as she said several Indian journalists have reached out to her for reactions.

"Welcome, my Indian followers, to my Instagram! It seems I’ve gained many Indian followers now. People were commenting on my photos as if I was elected! Just to be clear, it wasn’t me, it was only my photo," she added, as quoted by the broadcaster.
