00:00With one picture, India shattered the propaganda Pakistan had spent months building.
00:04Here's the full story.
00:05In July, several Pakistani and foreign media outlets claimed
00:08IF pilot Shivangi Singh was in Pakistan's captivity.
00:11Some users even circulated an unrelated video in an attempt to show her supposed capture.
00:15Outlet stooped even lower, sharing videos originally from the Air Force chief's visit
00:19to the family of late Sergeant Surendra Kumar, who laid down his life during Operation Sindur,
00:23several outlets falsely claimed that the chief had visited Singh's home to console her mother.
00:27But to bust all these claims, all it took was one picture.
00:31On October 29, during President Vermeer's visit to Ambala Air Force Base for a Rafale sortie,
00:35the woman standing beside her caught everyone's eye.
00:38This was 29-year-old squadron leader Shivangi Singh.
00:41Hailing from Varanasi, Singh joined the Indian Air Force in 2017
00:44as part of its second batch of women fighter pilots.
00:46In 2020, after a rigorous selection process, she became the first woman to fly the Rafale.
