FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the claim, and found it to be false.
Searching with relevant keywords, the NM team found no credible media reports confirming the claim. The official social media profiles of Chahal and Khalifa have also not carried any posts, stories, or updates.
Upon a closer examination of the viral pictures, several inconsistencies were identified. The skin texture appeared unnaturally smooth and artificial, while the backgrounds in the images looked digitally manipulated and unrealistic. Also, putting the images through Hive Moderation, an AI detection tool, we found the images to be digitally created.
Thus, we can conclusively say that the images showing Chahal with Khalifa in Dubai and Maha Kumbh are AI-generated.
