He added that he has worn a topi in the video and is claiming that he has tuned into God.

Why Is This Problematic?
This is not the first time an Al video of a celebrity has gone viral for setting up false narratives. The fact that such videos or images can be made easily is scary. Many good things have happened because of AI but such fake clips can turn out to be damaging because celebrities have an influence over the masses who are ready to believe anything they say. We hope that stricter actions are imposed over such matters legally. We also applaud Javed Akhtar for quickly clarifying that it was fake and revealing his intention to take legal steps.
