Despite hailing from different religious backgrounds—Shah Rukh being a Muslim and Gauri a Hindu—their marriage has always been a symbol of harmony and mutual respect.
The couple has consistently upheld the values of interfaith respect and secularism, especially while raising their children, Aryan and Suhana Khan, in a secular environment, familiarizing them with both religions traditions.
Recently, a picture of the couple went viral on social media, claiming that Shah Rukh Khan had converted Gauri Khan to Islam and taken her to Mecca for pilgrimage. In the image, the two can be seen standing in front of the Kaaba. The image sparked various reactions online, with some accepting it as true while others viewed it with skepticism.
However, experts have revealed that the picture was not real but was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI). It was a deliberate attempt to stir controversy and fuel public discussion. Both Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan have not commented on the image, but media reports have clarified that the picture has no basis in reality.
This incident is not the first time celebrities have fallen victim to fake images or videos. In the past, stars like Deepika Padukone, Taylor Swift, and others have been targeted with edited material or false claims circulating on social media.
This event highlights the importance of verifying the information shared on social media. Fake images and false claims not only harm the reputation of celebrities but can also negatively impact social harmony. People should be cautious and ensure the authenticity of such claims before believing or spreading them.
