Actor Suniel Shetty is a proud nanu. His daughter Athiya Shetty and her cricketer husband KL Rahul had a baby girl last month. Suniel Shetty was one of the first ones to share the good news with everyone on his social media handle.
Against the backdrop, some images have surfaced on social media, showing Sunil Shetty holding his granddaughter.
An Instagram post by Tuluadda reads: “Congratulations to KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty on the arrival of their baby girl! Wishing the little one a life filled with love and happiness. A special moment for Suniel Shetty as he cherishes the joy of becoming a grandfather!”
Another post on Facebook shares an image of Suniel Shetty with his son-in-law KL Rahul.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the images and found them to be AI-generated.
A Reverse Image Search revealed no credible sources linking these pictures to any actual event. Also, Suniel Shetty has not shared or acknowledged such images on his social media handles.
Additionally, running the images through Hive Moderation — an AI detection tool — NewsMobile confirmed that the visuals were artificially created.
Hence, we can say that the viral images of Suniel Shetty holding his granddaughter are not real but digitally manipulated.
