NewsMobile investigated the picture in question and found it to be AI-generated and digitally fabricated.
A Reverse Image Search, along with relevant keyword checks, did not yield any credible news reports, authentic visuals, or official social media posts supporting the claim. None of the individuals seen in the image has shared such a photograph on their verified handles, nor has any reputable media organisation reported such an event.
A closer inspection of the image reveals several inconsistencies typically associated with AI-generated visuals — including uneven lighting, unnatural facial blending, distorted hand structures, disproportionate body alignment, and an overly smooth, artificial-looking background.
Further analysis using AI detection tools Sightengine and Hive Moderation flagged the image as AI-generated with a high probability score, confirming that the viral photo is not authentic.
The viral image purportedly showing Narendra Modi with Smriti Irani and Kangana Ranaut at a temple is fake. There is no credible evidence to support the claim, and multiple verification checks — including visual analysis and AI-detection tools — confirm that the image has been digitally created using artificial intelligence.
