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 return any credible news reports or authentic visuals supporting the claim. Neither Kohli nor his wife, actor Anushka Sharma, has shared such a photograph on their verified social media accounts. Additionally, no reputable media outlet has reported any such image.
A closer inspection of the viral photo reveals multiple inconsistencies commonly associated with AI-generated visuals. These include uneven lighting, unnatural facial blending, distorted hand features, disproportionate body alignment, and an overly smooth, artificial-looking background.
Further analysis using AI detection tools, including Sightengine and Hive Moderation, flagged the image as AI-generated with a high probability score, confirming that the viral photo is not genuine.
The claim that the image shows Virat Kohli with his daughter is false. The viral picture is digitally fabricated using AI tools.
