NewsMobile investigated the viral video and found it to be AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
A reverse image search of multiple keyframes from the video, along with relevant keyword searches, found no credible evidence to support the claim. We could not find any verified video, official social media post, or credible media report showing Salman Khan with a toddler in the manner depicted in the viral clip.
We also found no such video on Salman Khan’s verified social media accounts.
Further analysis of the footage revealed several tell-tale signs of manipulation, including unnatural facial features, inaccurate lip-sync, distorted body movements, inconsistent body proportions, and irregular lighting and shadows. The background also appears unusually smooth and lacks the depth and texture typically visible in authentic footage.
To further verify the claim, NewsMobile analysed the video using Hive Moderation, an AI-detection tool. The tool flagged the footage as AI-generated with a high probability, providing further evidence that the viral video has been digitally fabricated.
Therefore, the viral video is AI-generated and digitally manipulated. It does not show an authentic video of Salman Khan with a toddler.
