But has Moitra really said 'sex' in this video or is it something else? Let us tell you the truth.  A journalist named Tamal Saha who shot this video rejected the viral claim and revealed the truth. He wrote on his X account that when Mahua asked about his morning energy source, she said 'eggs' and not 'sex'. The journalist has said that the video being shared on social media is edited. Someone has tampered with the original video and changed the words of the TMC leader. 

He has also shared the link of the original video. "I asked Mahua Moitra: What’s your source of energy in the morning. Mahua Moitra replied: EGGS." Check out his post here.

Let me clarify, since this is my interview.

I asked @MahuaMoitra : What’s your source of energy in the morning.

Mahua Moitra replied : EGGS …(anda, dim)

This is ridiculous how the bhakt mandali has distorted it to make it sound like sx. The audio is being tampered…

Hence, it is clear that Mahua Moitra didn't say sex when replying to her source of energy question.
