Following a thrilling encounter between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League, a collage of photos began making the rounds on social media. The images show Suhana Khan — daughter of Bollywood star and KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan — posing with KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane.
The caption with the picture collage reads: “After the match against Punjab, the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders met Suhana Khan ♥️”

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral images, and found them to be AI-generated.
Running the pictures through Reverse Image Search, the NM team found no news reports or sources linking the pictures to any recent event or interaction. The official social media handles of Suhana Khan and Ajinkya Rahane have also not carried any related posts.
Closer inspection of the pictures revealed several tell-tale signs of AI manipulation —unnatural facial expressions, inconsistent lighting, awkward texture blending in the background, and subtle distortions, particularly around the faces.
Additionally, running the visuals through Hive Moderation, an AI-detection tool, we found the collage to be digitally created.
So, we can conclusively say that the viral photo collage showing Suhana Khan with Ajinkya Rahane is fake.
