NewsMobile investigated the viral video and found it to be AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
A reverse image search of multiple keyframes from the viral video, along with relevant keyword searches, found no credible evidence to support the claim. NewsMobile could not find any authentic video, official social media post or credible media report showing Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan together in the manner depicted in the viral footage.
Further, neither Shah Rukh Khan nor Gauri Khan has shared any such video on their verified social media accounts.
A frame-by-frame analysis of the viral clip also revealed several tell-tale signs of digital manipulation. These include unnatural facial features, inaccurate lip-syncing, distorted body movements, inconsistent body proportions, irregular lighting and shadow patterns, and overly smooth backgrounds lacking realistic depth and texture.
To further verify the claim, NewsMobile analysed the video using the AI detection tool Hive Moderation. The tool flagged the footage as AI-generated with a high probability, providing further evidence that the viral video is digitally fabricated.
In conclusion, the viral video claiming to show Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan urging viewers to follow a new account is FAKE. It has been created using AI and digitally manipulated.
