Similarly, Sara was also targeted with a few deep fake photos with Indian cricketer Shubhman Gill, who has been rumoured to be dating her. But, three days after the World Cup final, Sara Tendulkar shared a statement about these deep fake photos and a fake account on X, called @Sara Tendulkar, which has impersonated her on the platform.
The statement said: "Social media is a wonderful space for all of us to share our joys, sorrows and daily activities. However, it is disconcerting to see the misuse of technology as it takes away from the truth and authenticity of the internet. I have come across some deepfake photos of me which are far from reality."

"@Sara Tendulkar on X (formerly Twitter) declares itself as parody but has obviously been created with an intent to impersonate me and mislead people. I do not have an account on X, and I hope X looks into such accounts and suspends them. Entertainment should never come at the expense of the truth. Let's encourage communication that's based on trust and reality."
