Samantha is speculated to have fallen prey to deepfake just like actors Ranveer Singh, Rashmika Mandanna, and many more. A picture recently spread across the internet with many users claiming that it was of Sam. However, the photo in question depicts a certain someone sitting in a bathtub. While many of her fans claim that the photo was morphed to attack the actress, many claim that it is Samantha as she is wearing the same evil eye pendant in the photo.

What is Deepfake?

For those who are still unclear, Deepfake, a portmanteau word for deep learning and fake is the digital manipulation of a subject’s likeness with high conviction. The technology is used to create images of people in certain situations or change their surroundings to something else that never existed in the first place.

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence or AI, the spread of manipulated images has been a widespread case with many targeting popular celebrities or powerful figures in situations that never even occurred.
