Bollywood megastar Salman Khan celebrated his 60th birthday on December 27, 2025, with fans across the world wishing him on social media. Amid this, an image has gone viral showing Salman Khan cutting a cake, while several Bollywood actors who have reportedly had past controversies with him, including Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal, Abhishek Bachchan, Arijit Singh, and Vivek Oberoi are seen celebrating alongside him.

NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile verified the claim and found that the image is AI-generated.
The NM team initiated its verification by conducting a reverse image search to check whether the viral image had been reported or published by any media organisation. We also checked Salman Khan’s official social media handles to see if he had shared the image, but could not find any such post. However, the search did not yield the image on any credible media platform. Had such a high-profile gathering taken place, it would have attracted significant mainstream media attention.
Further, the absence of the image on the official social media handles of the actors seen in the picture also raised doubts about its authenticity. To confirm our findings, we ran the viral image through a Hive moderation AI detection tool, which identified the image as AI-generated.
Hence, it is evident that the viral image is not real and has been created using artificial intelligence.
