Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in Mumbai on July 15. A day later, the couple confirmed the happy news on Instagram and also requested that their daughter’s privacy be maintained. Nevertheless, photos of the duo holding the baby have gone viral. In one picture, Sidharth is seen cradling the baby and looking at him tenderly. In another picture, Kiara is seen holding the little one as the couple beams with joy. The pictures quickly went viral on social media, with fans eager to spot their daughter. However, the photos are fake. They have been digitally altered to make it appear as if the actors are posing with their newborn. The baby in these pictures is not Sidharth and Kiara’s daughter. While many fans initially believed the pictures to be real and sent their blessings for the baby, others pointed out that the visuals were AI-generated. However, many believed them to be real and even commented that the little girl looked like Kiara. This is not the first time such manipulated pictures have surfaced. Shortly after the baby was born, another AI-edited photo went viral, showing the couple with Salman Khan in what looked like a nursery selfie. But the photo had been overlaid with a montage. When Sidharth and Kiara welcomed their baby girl, they penned a note urging the media and paparazzi to respect their privacy. The note read, “We are so grateful for all the love and well-wishes; our hearts are truly full. As we take our first steps on this new journey of parenthood, we hope to enjoy it closely as a family. It would mean a lot to us if this special time could remain private.” The couple is yet to announce their daughter’s name. Sidharth opened up about being a father for the first time on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ while promoting his latest release ‘Param Sundari’. He said he is like a supporting actor while Kiara does most of the work in parenting duties, like even feeding the baby at 3am and 4am. But he admitted to changing diapers.
