NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral video and found it to be AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
A reverse image search of multiple keyframes from the viral video, along with relevant keyword searches, yielded no credible evidence supporting the claim. NewsMobile could not find any authentic video, official social media post or credible media report showing Sooryavanshi with his parents in the manner depicted in the viral footage.
Further, neither Sooryavanshi nor his parents appear to have shared any such video on their verified social media accounts.
A frame-by-frame analysis of the clip also revealed several tell-tale signs of digital manipulation, including unnatural facial features, inaccurate lip-syncing, distorted body movements, inconsistent body proportions, irregular lighting and shadows, and overly smooth backgrounds lacking realistic depth and texture.
To further verify the claim, NewsMobile analysed the video using the AI detection tool Hive Moderation. The tool flagged the footage as AI-generated with a high probability, providing additional evidence that the viral video has been digitally fabricated.
In conclsuion, the viral video purportedly showing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with his parents is AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
