FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral image and found it to be digitally manipulated.
We ran a Reverse Image Search and found no evidence of the picture on the official social media profiles of either Anushka Sharma or Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Moreover, no credible media outlet has reported such an encounter.
Digging deeper, we traced the original image to a photograph in which Anushka is seen with her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli.
A side-by-side comparison reveals that Vaibhav’s face has been digitally superimposed onto Kohli’s using editing software. Key indicators — such as inconsistent lighting, unnatural facial contours, and blending errors — further confirm that the image has been tampered with.
In conclusion, the viral image showing Anushka Sharma with Vaibhav Suryavanshi is doctored and misleading.
