Kushi co-stars Samantha and Vijay Devarakonda recently chatted on a 'video call'

Vijay calling Samantha

Vijay and Samantha shared their recent video call on Instagram on Monday. In the video, Vijay, lying down on a bed, is seen video-calling his Kushi co-star. When Samantha picks up, and tells him it's 1:30 am in Los Angeles and she's been locked out of her hotel room, Vijay says he called now because he was missing her. He then cracks a knock-knock joke that leads to him breaking into a romantic Telugu song, as Samantha keeps smiling.

Internet calls out the bluff

Instagram users took to the comment section of Vijay's post and pointed out how it wasn't a video call, but videos recorded separately and then made to seem like a video call on the edit table. Many users brought attention to Samantha's sunglasses, in which a reflecting of her recording a selfie video on her phone can be seen clearly.

A user commented, “Sam was recording not a VC (check out the reflection in her glasses) (two teary-eyed laughter emojis).” Another wrote in the comments, “(teary-eyed laughter emoji) can see herself in her glasses...she's recording a self vdo (bow down emoji) (red heart emoji).” A third user commented, “U have hidden talent anna , keep it hidden.” Another slid in a hilarious comment, “Knock knock that was not a video call I can see through your glasses.”
