The speculation ended when it became clear that the viral image was entirely created by artificial intelligence. Lust has a history of sharing humorous, fictional images with famous personalities, using artificial intelligence as a creative tool. In the past, she has aired similar fake encounters with Bollywood megastars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan and entertained her viewers after the truth came out.
Kohli’s post followed the same pattern, playing on the realism of modern AI imagery and the internet’s tendency to react before fact-checking.

Adding to the impossibility of the meeting, Kohli is focused on his cricketing commitments in India.

There were no official visits or public appearances linking him to the UK during this period.
