Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar's reported romance is a popular topic of conversation online. Even though they have never addressed the rumours, the couple always seems to be the centre of attention whenever they make an appearance together in public or on social media. Once again, the pair is in the news, but this time for a startling cause. Rashmika Mandanna and Katrina Kaif were recently exposed as victims of deepfake pictures, and Shubman and Sara became the latest targets.
Deepfake scandal involving Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar
A picture of Shubman and Sara has recently been making the rounds online. Sara can be seen giving the cricketer a bear embrace in the photo as the two of them smile broadly for the camera. In the first instance, admirers pondered if the two had made it official; nevertheless, several other internet users were quick to realise that it was rather an altered snapshot. Sara and her brother, Arjun Tendulkar, are prominently featured in the original shot.
It's worth noting that Karan Johar recently released the promotional video for his forthcoming episode, which stars Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday. In addition, Sara addressed the dating speculations around her and Shubman in the trailer. As a retort, she remarked, "You've got the wrong Sara."
