Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar's reported romance frequently creates a lot of talk on social media. While the two have never responded to such rumors, people are typically enamored with them due to their public and social media presence. In the most recent example, the two are once again making headlines, but this time for pretty alarming reasons. Recently, rumors of deepfake photos of Rashmika Mandanna and Katrina Kaif surfaced on the internet; the most recent victims are Shubman and Sara.

A picture of Indian cricketer Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar has lately gone viral on the internet. Sara can be seen hugging the batsman as they strike a happy smile for the camera in the shot.

Fans initially wondered if the two had made it official, but several other online users quickly realized that it was a photoshopped shot. Notably, Sara Tendulkar is pictured alongside her brother Arjun Tendulkar in the original photograph.

Rashmika Mandanna was initially targeted with an altered image.  

The actress expressed her disappointment through an Instagram story, part of her story read, “I feel really hurt to share this and have to talk about the deepfake video of me being spread online. Something like this is honestly, extremely scary not only for me but also for each one of us who today is vulnerable to so much harm because of how technology is being misused.”

A screenshot of Katrina Kaif's renowned towel battle sequence from her upcoming film, Tiger 3, was photoshopped and widely distributed on social media following Rashmika. According to India Today, Kat can be seen covered in a towel in the original image. The actress is dressed differently in the modified image.
