Actor Sonakshi Sinha made her acting debut in the Hindi film Dabangg, in which she played actor Salman Khan’s wife. Buoyed by the film’s successful run, the makers released two sequels, which also performed well in the box office. The actors reprised their roles in the sequels as well. However, the image was not from any of the movies.
Performing a reverse image search on the image, it was found that the original photo belonged to actors Arya and Sayyeshaa. Actor Arya predominantly worked in Tamil films, while Sayyeshaa has acted in Tamil and Telugu films. The couple who got married on March 10, 2019, hosted a wedding reception in Chennai a few days later. The image was taken during the reception.
Both Arya and Sayyeshaa have posted similar photos in their Instagram pages as well.
Reacting to one the morphed images, actor Sonakshi Sinha responded in Instagram: "Are you so dumb that you cant tell the difference between a real and a morphed picture?"
