Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has found himself at the center of an unexpected controversy after a fake poster began circulating online, showing him depicted as Guru Nanak, the revered Sikh spiritual leader. The poster, created using artificial intelligence, quickly went viral across social media platforms, leading to confusion and criticism from various quarters.
Reacting swiftly to the growing misinformation, Aamir Khan’s official spokesperson issued a strong statement, categorically rejecting the poster as “completely fake” and clarifying that the actor has no association whatsoever with the image or any project related to it. Emphasizing that the viral poster was artificially created and not linked to any real film or endorsement, the spokesperson warned against spreading false information.
The spokesperson further urged fans and media outlets to verify the authenticity of content before believing or sharing such fabricated material. “This is entirely AI-generated. There is no such film or project involving Aamir Khan. We strongly request everyone not to be misled by such baseless and disrespectful content,” the statement read.
The emergence of the fake poster has reignited conversations about the dangers of AI misuse, especially when it comes to creating misleading or sensitive material involving public figures. Given the deep cultural and religious significance of Guru Nanak, many expressed concerns that such fabricated imagery could unintentionally hurt religious sentiments.
As technology continues to advance rapidly, incidents like these highlight the urgent need for stronger regulations and greater digital literacy to prevent the spread of misinformation. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan, known for his thoughtful choice of films and respect for cultural sensitivities, has maintained a dignified silence, allowing his team to handle the situation officially.
The episode serves as a reminder to the public to approach viral content critically, especially when it involves revered historical figures and major celebrities.
