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 to support the claim. Neither Shah Rukh Khan nor Salman Khan has shared the image on their verified social media accounts. Moreover, no reputable media organisation has reported such a meeting or photograph.
A closer examination of the image revealed several visual inconsistencies commonly found in AI-generated content. These include inconsistent lighting and shadows, unnatural facial blending, distorted hand structures, disproportionate body alignment, and an unusually smooth, synthetic-looking background.
To further verify the claim, NewsMobile analysed the image 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 purportedly showing Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan posing together is AI-generated.
