Did SRK And Gauri Visit Mecca In New Year? The Truth Behind Viral Image

The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) and the proliferation of deepfakes has been a cause for concern across the world. Studies in the UK and other countries have found that thousands of famous people have fallen victim to deepfake pornography and suffered due to digitally altered videos that were created using AI.

In India too, videos of Rashmika Mandana, Katrina Kaif and Aamir Khan have circulated on the internet that later turned out to be fake. The latest target of deepfakes seems to be Shah Rukh Khan, who is "seen" with his wife Gauri and son Aryan in images purportedly from Mecca.

The photos first surfaced around the New Year, along with the claim that SRK and his family went to the holy city on the first day of the year. SRK, Gauri and Aryan are seen against the backdrop of the grand mosque in Mecca in the photos.
