7 Million Views, But Not Real: IFS Exposes Viral Lion Video, Claims It Is AI-Generated
In the comment section, some people were amazed by the video, while others asked IFS how to differentiate between AI-generated and real videos.
In today's time, AI-generated videos are taking over social media, with some being so lifelike that it's hard to distinguish reality from fiction. A recent viral clip has sparked debate, showing a lion approaching a sleeping man in an Indian street, sniffing him, and then walking away unscathed. The internet is buzzing with questions: 'Is this real or AI-generated?
The video garnered 7 million views on social media, and now it's been claimed as AI-generated by IFS Parween Kaswan. This raises important questions about the potential for AI to be used to mislead or confuse people. Given that AI is still in its early stages, it's concerning to think about the possibilities as the technology continues to evolve.
This video showing a lion sniffing human has around 7 millions views. This is AI generated video. Imagine how AI can be used to confuse people. And now imagine AI is still at nascent stage !! https://t.co/wKygxCHUw2 — Parveen Kaswan, IFS (@ParveenKaswan) June 8, 2025
In the comment section, some people were amazed by the video, while others asked IFS how to differentiate between AI-generated and real videos.
'Sir, can you please elaborate on how you identify this video generated by AI?" one user asked. 'Imagine how deepfake and AI can make far up tensions in some parts, which are sensitive," the other commented.

The Traitors India prize money: How much did Uorfi & Nikita win in finale?
Season 1 of The Traitors India, hosted by Karan Johar, has officially concluded. The intense psychological reality show ended with Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther being crowned the joint winners after a gripping final episode that saw the elimination of fellow innocent Sudhanshu Pandey, alongside traitors Harsh Gujral and Purav Jha. The finale kicked off with the elimination of Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid. Soon after, Harsh and Purav orchestrated the 'murder' of Jasmin Bhasin within the game. The final five contestants included Uorfi, Nikita, Sudhanshu, Purav, and Harsh. A turning point came when Uorfi overheard a secret conversation between Purav and Harsh, which helped her accurately identify the remaining traitors. In the climactic moments, Urfi and Nikita placed their trust in each other and emerged as the last two standing. Uorfi, proud to have won as an innocent, called her victory a fitting response to those who had underestimated her. Nikita, who was previously eliminated on Day 1 but returned to the game, expressed her joy at being named co-winner. The duo celebrated their shared triumph in style. The series followed a group of contestants tasked with identifying the traitors hiding among them, while avoiding elimination themselves. The innocents worked together to spot the traitors before being 'murdered' within the structure of the game. Originally developed in the Netherlands, The Traitors has seen successful adaptations in the US and UK. The Indian edition featured 20 contestants, including celebrities like Jasmin Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Jannat Zubair, Maheep Kapoor, and Ashish Vidyarthi. Prize money breakdown: ₹70 Lakh jackpot split between winners The total prize pool for The Traitors India Season 1 reached ₹70.05 lakh, which will now be divided equally between co-winners Uorfi and Nikita. Interestingly, the prize fund didn't start with a fixed amount. It gradually built up through a series of tasks completed by contestants in different episodes. Here's a breakdown of how the pot grew: Episode 2: ₹5.10 lakh added Episode 3: ₹8.55 lakh added Episode 4: A secret mission doubled the prize amount Episode 6: ₹14.40 lakh added Episodes 7 & 8: ₹5 lakh each Episode 9: ₹2 lakh added Episode 10 (Finale): ₹15 lakh added By the end of the final task, the prize fund stood at a grand total of ₹70.05 lakh.

India's first Disneyland park proposed in Manesar, says Haryana CM Saini
Haryana is planning something big for fun and tourism. Manesar could soon be home to India's first Disneyland-style theme park, promising to turn the state into a major hub for fun and tourism. The National Capital Region (NCR) could soon host India's first Disneyland amusement park, with Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announcing a 500-acre mega entertainment hub in Manesar. The project, he said, is set to become a landmark in the state's tourism and infrastructure development. The Chief Minister revealed that the site for the park has been earmarked near Pachgaon Chowk in Manesar, Gurugram district. The site is strategically situated along the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway and the Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor. 'Game-changer for Haryana', says CM Saini Calling the project a 'game-changer', Saini said the park will bring widespread economic, cultural, and social benefits, not just for Haryana but for the entire country. 'Manesar's proximity to Delhi, its infrastructure, and corporate presence make it the perfect location,' he said after meeting with Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in Delhi. Saini said that the objective is to leverage Haryana's connectivity and market potential to create a world-class amusement centre. 'It will generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities, develop infrastructure, and bring major changes in the surrounding areas,' he said. Gurugram, already home to several Fortune 500 companies, is a key contributor to the state's economy. The proposed Disneyland-style park will further complement the upcoming Global City project. Saini said. 'Hence, Gurugram is the most suitable location for the proposed Disneyland.' Currently, Disneyland parks operated by the Walt Disney Company are located in California and Florida in the United States, Paris (France), Tokyo (Japan), and Hong Kong. Surajkund to host more cultural events In addition to the entertainment park, the Haryana government is working on positioning the state as a major global destination for spiritual and cultural tourism. Saini shared that the state has proposed hosting three annual melas at Surajkund, expanding the scale of celebrations at the International Gita Mahotsav, and seeking financial assistance from the Centre for the same. The Surajkund Mela, already an iconic event, attracts artisans, folk performers, and artists from across India and abroad. Each year, the fair focuses on the cultural traditions of a different Indian state. 'The Surajkund Mela is not only a celebration of Indian diversity but also a key cultural event that promotes tourism,' Saini said. Haryana eyes spiritual tourism boost To further enrich this platform, the government also plans to organise a Diwali Mela and a Book Fair at Surajkund. 'This initiative will provide an excellent platform for artisans, artists, and folk performers from local, state, national, and international levels to showcase their talent,' he said. Highlighting the significance of the International Gita Mahotsav, the chief minister said it offers a strong opportunity to brand Haryana as a spiritual tourism hub. 'To establish Haryana as a key pilgrimage destination globally, we need active support from the Union Tourism Ministry,' he said, requesting the Centre's help in organising the Mahotsav on a much grander scale.

K-Pop Demon Hunters OST Storms the World - Why Every Young Fan Is Obsessed Right Now?
When K-Pop Meets Animation-And the World Can't Stop Watching Okay, imagine this: an animated film about K-pop idols fighting evil spirits drops, and suddenly, everyone from BTS's RM to your TikTok feed is obsessed. That's exactly what's happening with K-Pop Demon Hunters. The movie isn't just topping OTT charts globally's also got an OST that's basically taking over the world. The film stars a girl group called Huntrix, who battle supernatural baddies, and a rival boy group, Lion Boys, who are, well, suspiciously mysterious. Sounds like every K-drama ever, but with more glitter and demon-slaying. OST Goes Viral-BTS, TWICE, and TikTok Can't Get Enough Here's where things get wild. The movie's soundtrack, featuring the addictive dance track "Soda Pop," has become a global anthem. BTS's RM literally sang along to it on his livestream, and Jungkook admitted he watched the film too. When BTS recommends something, you know it's about to blow up. TWICE's Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung filmed themselves dancing to Huntrix's "TAKEDOWN," racking up a mind-blowing 17 million views on TikTok. ZeroBaseOne's "Soda Pop" challenge video? Over 10 million views. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Even TXT got in on the action, posting their own "Demon Hunters" dance version on YouTube, complete with hanbok-inspired looks that scream "K-pop meets folklore." Billboard Domination-OST Breaks Records Like It's No Big Deal This isn't just hype-these songs are making history. The K-Pop Demon Hunters OST debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200, making it the first OST album this year to break into the top 10. Individual tracks "Your Idol" (by the Lion Boys) and "Golden" (by Huntrix) landed at #77 and #81 on the Hot 100, respectively. For context, that's like an Indian film soundtrack suddenly charting alongside Taylor Swift and Drake. Insane! On Spotify, multiple tracks are in the global top 100, and in Korea, "Golden" and "Soda Pop" are trending on Melon's Top 100. The soundtrack's success is being credited to some of K-pop's biggest hitmakers-Teddy (the genius behind BLACKPINK and BIGBANG), Kush, Vince, and more. Even the vocalists are familiar faces: ex-SM trainees, R&B singer Audrey Nuna, and Korean-American artist Ray Ami. Why Indian Fans Totally Get the Hype Let's be real-this kind of fandom energy is super relatable for anyone who's ever stanned a Bollywood star or joined a dance challenge for a Tollywood hit. The way K-pop fans are rallying behind this animated film feels a lot like how Indian fans turn movie releases into nationwide festivals. The TikTok challenges? It's the same vibe as everyone learning the latest hook step from a Ranveer Singh song. And just like Indian cinema, K-pop's magic lies in its ability to blend catchy music, killer dance moves, and larger-than-life storytelling. "K-Pop Demon Hunters" is basically the animated, supernatural version of what we already love-just with more neon hair and less melodrama. When Cultures Collide-And Fans Win What's really cool is how this film has become a global party. BTS's shoutout gave it a massive boost, and now even the director is publicly asking for a BTS x Lion Boys collab. The line between fiction and reality is blurring, and fans are loving every second. It's proof that whether you're in Seoul or Surat, the universal language of music, dance, and fandom brings us all together. Honestly, watching K-pop idols (even animated ones) take over the world feels a lot like cheering for your favorite cricket team-pure, infectious joy. Here's hoping we get an Indian version someday, complete with dhol beats and demon-slaying dance battles. And hey, if you're not already humming "Soda Pop," what are you even doing with your
