Millions of people across the globe attend the Maha Kumbh Mela. Celebrities like Steve Jobs’s wife, Laurene Powell, actor-politician Krishna Kumar, TV actor Siddharth Nigam, and others took the holy dip at the Triveni Sangam.

Meanwhile, a video featuring Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin, and other big names is widely circulated across internet platforms. It was learned to be an AI-generated clip, featuring Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking the holy dip at the Maha Kumbh Mela with Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni.

The viral video looks quite real but is actually a work of artificial intelligence. It opens with “Melodi” – PM Modi and Italy’s Meloni holding hands at the confluence of the holy rivers at Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. They are seen standing inside the sacred waters and offering prayers at the Maha Kumbh Mela together.

As the video continues, the AI-imagined visuals show a series of celebrities witnessing the grand celebration and performing the auspicious ‘snaan’. The short reel, which was posted on Instagram by a creator named ‘Artificial Budhi’, also featured actors, political leaders, sportsmen, and businessmen.

The video imagined prominent figures like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Rishi Sunak, Justin Trudeau, and Vladimir Putin soaking themselves in the celebrations of Maha Kumbh. The list extended to Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Will Smith, Zendaya, Tom Holland, and John Cena.
