  • Shirish Kunder's new photos spark buzz and mixed fan reactions
  • Some fans praised his look, others questioned AI or editing
  • Farah Khan joked about his travel photo in the comments

Farah Khan's husband and filmmaker Shirish Kunder, who is hardly seen in the public eye, left many of his followers shocked when he shared a series of new pics on his Instagram.

Shirish, who is known for keeping a low public profile, has been remarkably active online in recent days. The filmmaker looks completely unrecognisable and young.

One picture of the filmmaker showing off her toned body went viral on social media. He is shown proudly standing for the camera without a shirt in a number of other pictures.

On the other hand, he wears sharp suits, giving off an air of sophistication and high fashion in other posts.

Fans speculated about his possible destination after seeing a certain snapshot of him sitting aboard an aeroplane. Fans are both thrilled and worry of the drastic change in look.

Shirish’s new look has received mixed responses. While a few fans praised him as "handsome,” others wondered if the photos had been photoshopped.

Shirish appeared to be "ageing backwards," according to some internet users who said the images were artificial intelligence (AI)-generated. Some even conjectured about potential anti-ageing remedies. There is currently no proof that the images have been manipulated in any manner.

One person wrote, “Is it AI?” Another added, “Why ai when u have a beautiful house already.”

Farah Khan added humour to the post by commenting on one of Shirish's posts. She said, "Going somewhere??" and included a laughing smiley in her comment on the picture that was taken inside a plane.
