In the video, Siamand Mustafa and his wife Shahad are seen standing in front of the pyramids with their friends. The couple is expecting their second child together, and the lights turn blue indicating that the couple would be having a baby boy.

But in a twist, the authorities in Egypt claim that the pyramids were painted blue for an entirely different event. Also, it was pointed out that private parties are strictly prohibited near the pyramids and neither are the pyramids used for advertising purposes, an official was quoted by Arab News. 

Further, Mohamed Abdelaziz, who runs the Sound and Light Company that arranges all celebratory events at the pyramids confirmed that legal action is being taken against Mustafa for the video.

Mustafa claimed that he spent several days arranging for permissions and documents for this gender reveal surprise for his family, as per a report by The Mirror.
