Social media is becoming a place where separating truth from lies has become a major challenge. With the rise of fake images and videos, many unsuspecting users can fall prey to misleading posts. One such incident involved Nita Ambani, wife of India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and her daughter, Isha Ambani, who became the latest victims of online trolling due to a doctored image.
The Viral Photo That Sparked Controversy
Recently, an Instagram post surfaced featuring Isha and Nita Ambani dressed in matching green lehengas. In the image, Nita Ambani is seen wearing a modest three-fourth sleeve blouse with a straight-cut skirt, while Isha is depicted in a more modern bralette-style blouse with a cutout design. The two were also adorned with their signature diamond and emerald jewelry, a detail that was not lost on fans.
However, it wasn’t long before the post attracted the attention of social media users. Some commenters began criticizing the attire of the Ambani ladies, with harsh remarks targeting the blouse designs and color choices. Many trollers commented on the supposed lack of “decency” and made sarcastic remarks about the matching outfits, while others questioned the quality of their lehengas, stating, “What’s the point of being rich if you have to share fabric?”
Users Realize the Photo is Fake
But as the negative comments piled up, sharp-eyed users began noticing something odd about the image. It appeared that Nita Ambani’s hands looked unnaturally altered—an indication that the picture may have been digitally manipulated. Soon, people started realizing that this was the work of AI editing, a common technique used to generate fake images.
As the truth about the edited photo spread, social media users began defending the Ambanis, providing correct information and exposing the fake nature of the viral post.
The Original Image and the Fake One
Interestingly, the photo wasn’t entirely fake. If one were to visit designer Manish Malhotra’s page, they would find the original photo of Nita and Isha Ambani, but with a key difference—their outfits were cream-colored, not green as shown in the doctored version. The authentic picture was taken at a wedding event for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, where the Ambani women were dressed in stunning cream-toned lehengas designed by Manish Malhotra.
This incident serves as yet another reminder of the power of AI in creating believable, yet fake, images, and the importance of fact-checking before jumping to conclusions on social media.
