Two sets of video clips that allegedly depict Pakistani actors having a kiss in episodes of two different television shows are being shared online by Pakistani users.
Social media users are furious and incensed about the footage, calling on the media authority to punish the actors and stop the shows from airing.
But the assertion is untrue. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools that are openly accessible were used to make the videos.
Make a claim
A 15-second film that combines sequences from two drama shows was posted on December 19 by an account on X (previously Twitter).
Fact-check: Artificial intelligence-generated videos trick viewers into thinking Pakistani actors are sharing kisses on television.
One purportedly depicts a kiss between Pakistani actors Bilal Abbas Khan and Durefishan Saleem from the television serial Ishq Murshid.
