Fact Check: Did Salman Khan Really Meet Aishwarya Rai’s Daughter Aaradhya During Sikandar Shooting?

A series of images claiming to show Bollywood actor Salman Khan meeting Aaradhya Bachchan, daughter of actress Aishwarya Rai, during the filming of Khan's upcoming movie Sikandar have been circulating widely on social media. The post features a collage of pictures with the caption,''Aaradhya Bachchan Meets Salman Khan During Sikandar Movie Shooting | Aishwarya Abhishek Relationship.''

However, a fact check conducted by has revealed that these images are, in fact, manipulated.

To verify the authenticity of the images, the OneIndia News team conducted a Reverse Image Search, which led them to various reports featuring similar images of Salman Khan, but with Indian boxer Nikhat Zareen instead. The original images were traced back to Nikhat Zareen's official Instagram account, where they were identified as unaltered photos from two videos she posted on November 8, 2022, and November 8, 2023.

Upon closer examination, it became clear that Aaradhya's face had been superimposed onto Zareen's face in the viral images. Additionally, another picture of Zareen with Salman Khan had also been manipulated using photo-editing software.
