What is the Ni Pera Ni Pukha trend?
It is a selfie lip-sync: one continuous phone shot, about 15 seconds long, held at arm's length. The singer mouths the Russian song straight into the lens with a lot of attitude, gestures with her free hand, waves, and at one point turns her head to profile as if checking the view. Steel cables and the stone arch of the bridge fill the background under a clear blue sky.
The appeal is simple: a confident, slightly over-the-top sing-along in a famous place. People make their own versions to sing the line themselves or to put a friend in the sunglasses. It is searched as ni pera ni pukha, ни пера ни пуха тренд, the Brooklyn Bridge lip-sync and the sunglasses selfie song.
Where does the original video come from?
"Ни пера, ни пуха" ("neither down nor feather") is a set Russian phrase that wishes someone luck before an exam or a hard task; the customary reply is "к чёрту" ("to the devil"). Here it is the title words of a Russian song that spread as a TikTok sound in October 2026.
The bridge selfie on this page was posted on TikTok in mid-October 2026 and quickly became one of the most watched clips on that sound. We could not confirm who recorded the song or who started the trend, so this page does not name an artist or link a source. vswp keeps the sound exactly as it is in the trend's clip.
Who and what is in it?
The role you take is the woman in front, singing to her selfie camera. She wears big red-brown sunglasses, a black quilted jacket over a black top, and her short blonde hair moves in the wind. The clip goes like this:
- The opening. She starts singing straight into the camera, with a friend with curly hair visible over her shoulder.
- The gestures. A thumbs-up, pointing at the lens, a wave, all in time with the words.
- The turn. Around the middle she turns her head to profile toward the bridge and the city, then comes back to the camera.
- The background. The Brooklyn Bridge cables and stone tower, a few passers-by, bright sun.
On vswp only the singer is offered for a photo. The friend behind her and the passers-by stay as in the original.
How to make the Ni Pera Ni Pukha video with AI
- Open the Ni Pera Ni Pukha trend and sign in with Telegram. There is no password.
- The singer is already found: give her your photo (JPEG, PNG or WebP).
- Decide on "Keep the original look". On, the quilted jacket stays and only the face and hair change; off, your clothes and hair come from the photo.
- Press "Make the free preview" to see about 5 seconds at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark; every new user gets one.
- Press "Create the full video". The price in Telegram Stars is shown before you start, and the Stars come back if a render fails or is canceled.
- Download the MP4 at 480p or 720p with the original sound, typically ready in minutes.
By starting a video you confirm you have the right to use it and the photo, so ask a friend before using theirs. More videos are in the trends list.
Which photo for each role?
- A close, sharp face. The selfie keeps the face large in the frame for the whole clip, so use a front-facing photo with even light and nothing covering the face.
- A neutral mouth. The AI follows the singing in the original, so a relaxed expression works better than a wide grin.
- Sunglasses are up to you. Her sunglasses come from the original; if your photo has none, your version may sing without them. A photo with your own sunglasses helps keep a pair.
- Hair matters. Short or long, your hair comes from the photo when the original look is off, so pick one where it is clearly visible.
- The profile turn. Fast head turns are hard for generative AI; likeness can drift for a moment, and a take may need another try.
