NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral images and found the picture to be AI-generated.
A search on Google for more authenticity of the visual yielded no credible media reports or official social media posts corroborating the claim. Notably, none of the individuals purportedly seen in the images have shared such photos on their social media handles.
A closer scrutiny of the visuals reveals several tell-tale signs of AI manipulation — inconsistent lighting, unnatural facial blending, and overly smooth, artificial-looking background textures.
Additionally, the AI-detection tools — Was it AI and Hive Moderation — have also flagged the visuals as artificially created.
Hence, we can conclude that the viral image of Kohli, KL Rahul and Rohit with their wives is AI-generated.
