NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral image and found it to be AI-generated.
A reverse image search, coupled with relevant keyword searches, found no credible news reports, authentic photographs, or official social media posts corroborating the claim. Neither Kangana Ranaut nor Chirag Paswan has shared the image on their verified social media handles. Additionally, no credible media organisation has reported such a meeting or published the photograph.
A closer inspection of the viral image revealed multiple visual anomalies typically associated with AI-generated content. These include inconsistent lighting and shadow patterns, unnatural facial blending, distorted hand structures, disproportionate body alignment, and an overly smooth, synthetic-looking background.
To further verify its authenticity, NewsMobile analysed the image using AI detection tools, including Sightengine and Hive Moderation. Both platforms identified the image as AI-generated with a high probability score, confirming that the viral photograph is digitally fabricated.
In conclusion, the viral image claiming to show Kangana Ranaut posing with Chirag Paswan outside Parliament is AI-generated.
