Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, voiced her distress over encountering deepfake photos of herself on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). In an Instagram statement, she denounced the misuse of technology, calling for action against impersonating accounts: "A few accounts on X have obviously been created with an intent to impersonate me." Sara urged X to suspend such accounts, emphasizing, "Entertainment should never come at the expense of the truth." The incident sheds light on the growing concern of deepfake usage targeting celebrities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also recently highlighted the threat of deepfakes in society in G20 virtual summit. [ photo courtesy: Sara Tendulkar's Instagram handle ]
