Tue Feb 04 14:12:31 IST 2025: ## Fake Photos of Shah Rukh Khan with WWE Stars at Kumbh Mela Go Viral
**Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India** – Social media has been abuzz with purported photos of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan alongside professional wrestlers Ronda Rousey and Roman Reigns at the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj. However, a fact-check by BOOM and NDTV has revealed these images to be AI-generated deepfakes.
The images, circulating with captions claiming Khan attended the Kumbh Mela with the WWE stars, were analyzed using AI detection tools. These tools flagged the photos as having an over 80% probability of being artificially created. A reverse image search also failed to find any credible source confirming the presence of the three celebrities at the religious gathering.
Specific analysis using the Hive Moderation AI detector indicated that one image showed 85.8% AI-generated content, while another registered 81.5%. The high percentages definitively indicate the photos are not authentic.
This incident serves as a cautionary tale regarding the rapid spread of misinformation online and the increasing sophistication of AI-generated imagery. Users are urged to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of information before sharing it. The original fact-check can be found at [BOOM’s original article link].
