New Delhi: After actors Rashmika Mandana and Katrina Kaif, now Kajol Devgan has become a target of a deep fake controversy. Recently, a morphed video of Kajol began doing the rounds on social media.
Although the original clip was shared in June this year by influencer Rosie Breen on TikTok as part of the ‘Get Ready With Me’ trend, it resurfaced recently, sparking concerns over the use of AI.
The video in question shows Breen’s face being replaced with that of Kajol. The clip showed the ‘My Name Is Khan’ actress changing clothes on camera. The original video was of Rosie, and Kajol’s face had been morphed into the video. For a split second, the manipulated video features the face of the original woman.
The video has been shared on several social media platforms.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kajol Devgan was seen headlining the show 'The Trial'. Kajol starred in the ensemble legal drama that has been inspired from 'The Good Wife'.
In other news related to the AI altered images/videos concerning Rashmika Mandanna's case, the deepfake video showed a woman, dressed in black, entering a lift. Her face was morphed and edited in a way that it resembled the actor. The original video was that of an influencer who was dressed in black gym wear.
In Katrina Kaif's case, a digitally altered image of the actress from her recently released film 'Tiger 3' showed the actress engaging in a fight with a stuntwoman clad in a towel, the edited version showed her wearing a low-cut white top and a matching bottom instead of the towel.
Deepfakes are increasingly being used to create pornography and spread misinformation. This has become a major challenge for celebrities who are being targeted publicly. After Rashmika Mandanna's case, the Indian government has issued an advisory for social media platforms.
