A set of images showing Reliance Foundation chairperson Nita Ambani handing over a set of keys to Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma have gone viral on social media.
The claim: Those sharing these images have claimed that they show Ambani gifting Sharma luxury Bugatti cars after team India won the 2025 Champions Trophy.
How did we find out the truth?: When we saw the images, we noticed some issues with them.
The first image had some of Ambani's fingers missing on the left hand.
Additionally, text on the car's grill and the word 'India' on Sharma's jersey showed garbled text, which is a telltale sign of an AI-generated image.
The image had some issues.

The second image, too, had similar issues with garbled text on Sharma's jersey.
The area surrounding his eyes and mouth showed green elements, and Ambani's mouth also looked odd with too many teeth.
Both images showed signs of them being AI-generated ones.
