Sara Tendulkar is concerned by her 'Deepfake Photos' on social media
Sara Tendulkar, who is the daughter of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, often gets talked about on social media. Her presence at some of the matches of Team India in the Cricket World Cup 2023 certainly excited fans. However, she finds herself becoming a talking point on social media for the wrong reasons too. Fans on the internet went abuzz after Sara shared a story on her Instagram account, suggesting there are some impersonating her on X. Sara also highlighted that she has come across some 'deepfake' photos of her on social media.
In a lengthy post, Sara expressed grave concern over the social media activity being done by accounts impersonating her.
Sara wrote in a statement that emerged on social media that "Social media is a wonderful space for all of us to share our joys, sorrows, and daily activities. However, it is disconcerting to see the misuse of technology, as it takes away from the truth and authenticity of the internet. I have come across some deepfake photos of me that are far from reality.
“A few accounts on X 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."
