In recent events, the widespread misuse of technology, particularly in the form of deepfake videos, has sparked significant concern and debate across various industries. Notable personalities such as Rashmika Mandanna, Alia Bhatt, and Nora Fatehi have found themselves embroiled in controversies due to the circulation of manipulated content.
Adding to the growing list of victims are Bollywood power couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. A viral photo circulating on social media purportedly depicting the couple sharing a sonogram of their first child has caused a stir. However, a fact-check by News 18 revealed that the individuals in the image are not Deepika and Ranveer but Halime Kucuk, who announced her pregnancy on a different occasion.
The issue of deepfake technology further escalated when Ranveer Singh filed a formal complaint with the Dadar police regarding a manipulated video falsely portraying him endorsing a political party. The complaint emphasized that while the visuals were authentic from an interview in Varanasi, the audio was artificially generated, distorting the actor’s statements.
Amidst these controversies, Deepika Padukone remains committed to her professional endeavors, diligently balancing her work commitments despite expecting her first child with Ranveer Singh.
On the cinematic front, Deepika is gearing up for her highly anticipated role in ‘Singham Again,’ the latest installment in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe. Alongside esteemed co-stars like Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor, Deepika’s portrayal as Lady Singham is eagerly awaited by fans.
Additionally, she is set to feature in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Disha Patani, as well as in ‘The Intern’ alongside Amitabh Bachchan, showcasing her versatility and continued prominence in the Indian film industry.
