Harsha Bhogle Denounces Fake Video Misrepresenting Exchange with Vaibhav SooryavanshiPreviousNext

Harsha Bhogle condemned a viral AI-manipulated video falsely depicting a heated exchange between him and Rajasthan Royals' young cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The fabricated clip showed a disrespectful conversation about Sooryavanshi's personal life, which Bhogle clarified never occurred. He described the video as cruel and mischievous towards the 15-year-old, urging the IPL franchise and BCCI to take action. Separately, Sooryavanshi has gained attention for his record-breaking IPL performances and candid interviews about his cricketing goals.
