Recently the Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter Sara Tendulkar became the victim of Deepfake. In the picture, she is seen with Subhman Gill who was in reality with his brother. Now Sara has finally reacted to that pic. Well, she is not the first person who became a victim of Deepfake. Earlier other celebrities were also targeted. Actresses Katrina Kaif and Rashmika Mandanna are a few to count.
Sara, who posed with her brother Arjun Tendulkar in the original picture, was seen standing next to Gill in the misconstructed photograph. Notably, fans began speculating that Sara had made her relationship official with Shubman.

Days after the Deepfake incident, Sara raised her voice against the issue and wrote, “I have come across some deepfake photos of me which are far from reality. A few accounts on X (formerly Twitter) have obviously been created with the intent to impersonate me and mislead people. I do not have an account on X, and I hope X looks into such accounts and suspends them.”
She also brought to the notice how some accounts on X (earlier called Twitter) have been impersonating her in order to mislead people. She concluded by saying how entertainment should never come at the cost of truth and encouraged trust and reality-based communication in her note.
