The video of Kumar Sanu singing has been taken at one of his concerts, but the voice seems to have been modulated to sing, “Imran Khan ko azaad karaenge, wazir azam banayenge. Zulm ke khilaaf awaaz uthayenge, naya Pakistan hum banayenge. (We will free Imran Khan and make him the Prime Minister. We will raise our voices against injustice and form a new Pakistan.)”
Kumar Sanu posted about the same on Instagram.
On Sunday, Kumar Sanu addressed the issue on Instagram, sharing a screengrab of the news agency PTI busting these rumors. He wrote, “I want to clarify that I have never sung any song for Pakistan’s former Prime Minister. The audio circulating on Facebook is not my voice—it has been created using AI. Some people are trying to defame me, and that’s why I want to tell my fans that this news is fake, a lie!”
Kumar Sanu also called out the misuse of technology and urged people to stop spreading misinformation, saying, “This is a serious misuse of technology, and I urge the Government of India to take immediate action to prevent the abuse of AI and deepfake technology. Let’s stop the spread of misinformation. (folded hands emoji) #fakenews.”
