This Guy Face-Swapped On Snapchat With Two Celebrities And Now The Police Are Involved

This is how you become the top news story in India overnight.

Last week, Mumbai-based comedian Tanmay Bhat posted a Snapchat video on his Facebook that went viral in India. It was shared over a thousand times and set off a national debate about feminism and equality.

“If you believe that men and women should have equal rights, that’s it. That’s what makes you a feminist. That's it. There’s nothing else,” he said in the video.

Bhat is the founder of a mega-popular YouTube-based comedy troupe called All India Bakchod. BuzzFeed News spoke to the group last summer while they were in the middle of a legal battle. The group had been accused of breaking obscenity laws and formally charged with offending religious sentiments after organizing India's first celebrity roast.

Unfortunately for Bhat, the feminism controversy brought more attention to his Snapchat videos. A few days later, he decided to share a Snapchat face-swap Story titled "Sachin vs Lata Civil War," which sparked even more controversy.

Facebook: video.php

The video was a Captain America: Civil War parody, where Bhat swapped faces as renowned Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and legendary Indian playback singer Lata Mangeshkar. The face-swapped celebrities argue with each other in a curse-filled back and forth. At one point Bhat's Tendulkar says that Mangeshkar looks "5,000 years old." In response, Bhat as Mangeshkar raises his middle finger to the camera.

"I obviously love Lata and Sachin, just having some fun," Bhat wrote in the caption of the video.

Chewbacca Mask Mom Dishes On Her Viral Success, And Choice Of Streaming Platform

Last Thursday, Candace Payne walked out of a Kohl's department store and joyfully unboxed a talking Chewbacca mask while streaming it on Facebook Live. More than 150 million views later, Payne is a star.

The Texas mother of two spent the past week visiting Good Morning America, Lucasfilm's San Francisco campus, and Facebook headquarters. And she's racked up more than 700,000 Facebook followers in the process.

"My world is officially the weirdest thing in the entire galaxy," Payne said in a subsequent Facebook Live stream this week.

During Payne's visit to Facebook, she spent a few minutes talking with BuzzFeed News about her viral success and the source of her contagious joy (the full interview is posted above). "When you really know who you are, you don’t have to impress anybody. Not even yourself. You can laugh at yourself and it’s okay. It really is," she said.

Asked why she chose Facebook over other live streaming platforms, Payne attributed it to the network.

"That other streaming service didn’t have as many friends as this one," she said, referring to the Twitter-owned Periscope. "Facebook already has built-in followers, and friends and family. So, when they came out with [live streaming], it was just a natural transition to say, ‘Well why won’t I use that? I mean, everybody that I know is already on there.’"

Asked if it juiced Payne's reach in any way, Facebook said her video wasn't treated any differently in its system.

"We think it really resonated with people because it was such a joyful, authentic, and funny live video," a Facebook spokesperson said. "It was like discovering a breath of fresh air right in News Feed, and it was really hard not to laugh out loud along with Candace."
