Real or fake? AI-generated photo of SRK, Gauri Khan, Aryan in Mecca goes viral, netizens react

This is not the first time people have generated AI images of famous celebrities. Earlier too, celebrities like Rashmika Mandanna, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt have fallen victim to AI-generated pictures.

A picture of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan being circulated online has left the Internet buzzing. The picture was shared on Instagram by user 'wtv_news_media' where SRK, his wife Gauri Khan and their son Aryan can be seen together at a place that reportedly resembles Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

However, as clearly mentioned in the caption, the photo is fake and is AI-generated.

"Happy New Year Everyone SRK, aryan & gauri khan (Made with Ai)," the caption read.

The post has garnered over 6K likes and a flurry of comments since it was posted around New Year.

Many netizens expressed how wrong it is to generate AI images of people.

"AI generated. This is so wrong. Please people don't get carried away," a user commented.

"I can't believe people are falling for this," another user commented.
