FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the picture in question, and found it to be AI-generated.
Searching with relevant keywords, the NM team could not find any legitimate news reports or official acknowledgements from NASA, SpaceX, or Reliance Industries confirming such a meeting. If the image were genuine, it would have been widely covered by mainstream media.
Moreover, a closer examination of the images exposes several inconsistencies like unnatural facial expressions, inconsistent lighting, awkward texture blending in the background, and subtle distortions in facial features, which are commonly detected in AI-generated visuals.
Additionally, running the image through the AI detection tool — Hive Moderation — we found it to be digitally created.
Thus, the viral image claiming to show Sunita Williams with Mukesh Ambani after her return from space is AI-generated.
