While some social media users are wondering if the images capture a dramatic real-life transformation, others are busy debating whether AI has played a role in the same.

Shirish gets in spotlight

Lately, social media users have noticed that Shirish has suddenly become quite active on Instagram, regularly sharing photos and videos to keep his followers in the loop. However, his latest posts have set social media buzzing for an entirely different reason.

People have noticed a visible change in his facial features as well as his overall physique. One particular post which is grabbing attention shows him flaunting a chiseled body. Other pictures show him shirtless as he poses in front of the camera. In one of the posts, he is seen dressed in a sharp suit, with a noticeably defined jawline that instantly caught the attention of fans.

One wrote, “Ohh myy goddd Sir!!!! You are so young”, with one comment reading, “Amazing transformation”. Other comments read: “Great makeover” and “Can't believe such a transition”.

One social media user wrote, “Be proud on your original looks”, with another sharing, “It seems like sir is learning 'How to use AI' but sirrrrr how handsome?”

Some wondered in the comment section: “Is this AI ?”, “Is it AI ?” and “Ai images hai kya? (Is it an AI image).”

One wrote, “Why ai when u have a beautiful house already”, with another writing, “AI generated post”. One mentioned, “Nice.. exploring Ai huh?”

Another social media user wrote, "Wtf, is those anti-aging injection?", with one sharing, "Are you Farah Khan's husband, you are looking different." One comment read, "Real or AI?"

More about Shirish

They got close to each other while working on the film. The couple got married in 2004 in an intimate ceremony. They faced a lot of scrutiny over the eight-year age gap between them.
