Alia Bhatt, a beloved Bollywood figure, recently faced controversy when a fake video of her surfaced online, upsetting her fans.
In the video, she wore a pink saree, but her facial expressions seemed off, raising suspicions.
Investigations revealed it was a deepfake, a video manipulated using advanced AI technology.
Alia’s visage had been digitally placed onto footage originally featuring another Indian actress, Wamika Gabi, which had been shared two weeks prior.
This incident sparked concerns about the legality and ethics of deepfake technology.
Fans worried about the potential misuse of such technology and its implications for privacy and truth in media.
The circulation of the fake video not only tarnished Alia’s image but also highlighted the need for regulations to address the growing issue of deepfakes.
