FACT CHECK: Fake news about Sara Tendulkar, Shubman Gill relationship goes viral

Deep Fake technology has taken the world by storm. Many celebrities have been subjected to AI and have had fake pictures of them made and shared all over the internet. Ace Indian batter Shubman Gill became the latest victim of the technology as a picture of Gill and Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter Sara picture has been going viral all over social media.

As many fans celebrated that both made their relationship official with the post, after some investigation, it was found out that the picture is morphed. The picture originally had Arjun Tendulkar’s face on it instead of Gill. However, through the power of AI, Gill’s face had been morphed into Arjun’s face.

Incidents like these have prompted the Union IT Ministry to launch a probe and warn social media platforms to remove pictures that have had the impact of AI and Deep Fake on them. Recently, morphed pictures of many Bollywood actresses were also being shared all over social media.
