NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral video and found it to be AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
A reverse image search of multiple keyframes from the video, along with relevant keyword searches, found no credible evidence to support the claim. NewsMobile could not find any verified video, official social media post or credible media report showing Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor together in the manner depicted in the viral clip.
Neither Salman Khan nor Kareena Kapoor has shared any such video on their verified social media accounts.
A frame-by-frame analysis of the footage also revealed several tell-tale signs of AI manipulation, including unnatural facial features, inaccurate lip-sync, distorted body movements, inconsistent body proportions, and irregular lighting and shadows. The background also appears unusually smooth, lacking the depth and texture typically seen in genuine footage.
To further verify the claim, NewsMobile analysed the footage using Hive Moderation, an AI detection tool. The tool flagged the video as AI-generated with a high probability, providing further evidence that the viral footage has been digitally fabricated.
In conclusion, the viral video purportedly showing Salman Khan in a hospital with Kareena Kapoor is AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
