NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral image and found it to be AI-generated.
A reverse image search, along with relevant keyword searches, found no credible news reports, authentic photographs, or official social media posts supporting the claim. Neither Kangana Ranaut nor Chirag Paswan has shared the image on their verified social media accounts. Additionally, no credible media organisation has reported such a meeting or published the purported photograph.
A closer examination of the viral image revealed several visual inconsistencies commonly associated with AI-generated content. These include unnatural facial blending, distorted hand structures, inconsistent lighting and shadow patterns, disproportionate body alignment, and an unusually smooth, synthetic-looking background.
To further verify the image, NewsMobile analysed it using AI detection tools, including Sightengine and Hive Moderation. Both tools flagged the image as AI-generated with a high probability score, confirming that the viral photograph is digitally fabricated.
In conclusion, the viral image claiming to show Kangana Ranaut posing with Chirag Paswan outside Parliament is AI-generated and not authentic.
