FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the pictures in question and found them to be AI-generated.
A Reverse Image Search returned no credible news reports or reliable sources carrying these photographs. Neither Amitabh Bachchan nor members of the Deol family have shared such images on their verified social media accounts.
On closer inspection, the visuals show tell-tale signs of AI manipulation — including overly smooth skin textures, inconsistent lighting, and awkwardly blended facial contours and edges.
For further verification, NewsMobile analysed the photos using the AI-detection tool Hive Moderation, which confirmed that the images were artificially generated.
In conclusion, the viral set of pictures is AI-generated.
