NewsMobile investigated the picture in question and found that the viral image was AI-generated.
A thorough reverse image search, along with keyword-based checks, yielded no credible media reports, authentic photographs, or official posts corroborating the claim. Importantly, neither Shubman Gill nor Sara Tendulkar has shared any such image on their verified social media handles.
Closer scrutiny of the visual reveals several red flags commonly associated with AI-generated imagery. These include inconsistent lighting, unnatural facial blending, and an overly smooth, artificial background texture.
To further verify the findings, NewsMobile analysed the image using AI-detection tools Sightengine and Hive Moderation. Both platforms flagged the image as AI-generated, conclusively confirming that the viral photo is digitally fabricated.
In conclusion, the image claiming to show Shubman Gill posing with Sara Tendulkar is fake and created using artificial intelligence.
