NewsMobile investigated the picture in question and found it to be AI-generated and digitally fabricated.
A Reverse Image Search, coupled with relevant keyword searches, yielded no credible news reports, authentic photographs, or official social media posts supporting the claim. Neither Kavya Maran nor Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has shared the image on their verified social media accounts. Furthermore, no reputable media outlet has reported any such meeting or public appearance involving the two.
A closer examination of the picture revealed several visual anomalies commonly associated with AI-generated content. These included inconsistent lighting, unnatural facial features, distorted hand structures, disproportionate body alignment, and an excessively smooth background lacking natural depth and texture.
To further verify the image, NewsMobile analysed it using AI-detection tools, including Sightengine and Hive Moderation. Both platforms flagged the picture as AI-generated with a high probability score, indicating that the viral image is not authentic.
In conclusion, the viral picture claiming to show Kavya Maran posing with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is AI-generated and digitally fabricated.
