Pakistani actor and host Imran Ashraf has reassured his fans that he is safe and in good health after fake reports claiming his death spread on social media. The rumours were fueled by AI-generated videos that falsely announced that the actor had passed away.
Addressing the false reports, Imran Ashraf took to his Instagram Story and made it clear that the circulating news was completely fake. He assured his followers that he was “absolutely fine” and asked them to remember him in their prayers.
The fabricated videos reportedly showed AI-generated versions of journalists and public figures announcing Ashraf’s alleged death, with some clips falsely claiming that he had suffered a cardiac arrest. The videos spread quickly online and caused concern among his fans.
The incident has once again highlighted the growing problem of AI-generated misinformation on social media. As manipulated videos become increasingly realistic, celebrities are increasingly being targeted by false reports, making it important for users to verify such claims through reliable sources before sharing them.
