Union Minister Chirag Paswan and television actor Vishal Singh were seen in tears during Ganpati Visarjan in Mumbai on September 19. Videos of the duo, both dressed in pink, showing their emotional farewell to Lord Ganesha have gone viral on social media. Freepressjournal.in reports that the two were seen shedding tears and later dancing to the beats of the dhol.

While some social media users expressed sympathy, others questioned the genuineness of Paswan's tears, with comments calling the moment staged. News ABPLive notes that Paswan, a former actor who described his Bollywood stint as a 'disaster', was seen wiping tears during the immersion rituals.
Both sources report the same event neutrally, but ABPLive foregrounds the sceptical social media reaction, quoting users who called it 'crocodile tears', while Freepressjournal.in leads with the emotional bond between Paswan and Singh and omits any mention of criticism. The contrast highlights how even a soft-focus celebrity story can be framed around either sentiment or suspicion. Neither outlet verifies the tears' sincerity, leaving readers to judge the visuals for themselves.
