Katrina Kaif is a highly regarded actress in Bollywood. She was recently featured in Sriram Raghavan's Merry Christmas.

There is a viral video circulating on the internet of Katrina Kaif fluently speaking French, reportedly with the help of AI. In the video, she discusses Bina's remarkable book in French, and it has gained a lot of attention.
According to the video shared by the fan page, it's from a 2019 event where Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan were at Bina Kak's book launch. Bina Kak played Salman's mom in "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya," so they're tightly knit together. The caption says the French voiceover is AI, but the speech itself hasn't been altered— which means it's exactly what Katrina said originally.
What happened to Ranveer Singh?
Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh became a victim of the deepfake menace sweeping the entertainment industry. Days after an AI-generated video featuring the actor surfaced online where he is purportedly heard voicing his political views, the actor has taken the legal route and filed an FIR in the matter.
Ranveer’s spokesperson said, “Yes, we have filed the police complaint and FIR has been lodged against the handle that was promoting the AI-generated deepfake video of Mr. Ranveer Singh.” The video in question is from Ranveer’s visit to Varanasi when he arrived for a fashion show curated by designer Manish Malhotra. Actress Kriti Sanon was also a part of the event.
During his visit to the ancient city, which happens to be one of the world's oldest pilgrimage sites, Ranveer spoke highly of the changes that have come about in terms of the public infrastructure overhaul while also sharing his 'divine' experience of the city. While the video appears genuine, the audio is of an AI-enabled voice clone of Ranveer.
