FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral image and found it to be AI-generated.
Conducting a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, the NM team found none of the pictures carried by any credible news source or official handle of Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar. There is no record of them sharing such images on any of thier verified social media accounts.
Moreover, the visuals appear convincing, but a closer scrutiny reveals classic signs of AI manipulation — awkward facial expressions, inconsistent shadows, blurry textures around the hands and background, and subtle distortions, especially near the eyes and mouth.
Analysing the images using Hive Moderation and WasItAI — AI detection tools — revealed that the visual was artificially generated.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral photo showing Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar is digitally manipulated.
