Was Jacqueline Fernandez's ‘Jugni’ wardrobe malfunction fake? Sonu Thukral claims AI

Singer Sonu Thukral has filed a police complaint after a viral clip from his recently released song ‘Jugni’, featuring Jacqueline Fernandez, brought widespread controversy online. The singer alleges that the clip circulating on social media was edited using artificial intelligence (AI) and does not represent the original music video.

Sharing a photo with a police officer and a copy of his complaint on Instagram, Sonu wrote, "I have filed a police complaint regarding my song 'Jugni'. The clip has also been edited using AI, and the AI-generated version of the clip is being circulated further. I will talk about it publicly soon."

The controversy began after a short clip from ‘Jugni’ went viral, with several social media users claiming it showed Jacqueline experiencing a wardrobe malfunction.

As the video spread across platforms, speculation intensified before Sonu publicly claimed that the viral version had been manipulated using AI. At the time of writing, Jacqueline Fernandez and the makers of the song have not issued an official statement on the allegations.

Reddit is divided over the controversy

One discussion on the platform questioned whether the viral moment was intentional, with some users arguing that a scene in a professionally edited music video could not have slipped through multiple rounds of post-production unnoticed.

Others suggested the clip may have been left in initially to generate buzz before being blurred later.

However, many Redditors strongly disagreed with that theory. Several users said they believed the viral footage was either AI-generated or heavily edited, while others argued that editing mistakes can happen, citing well-known production errors in films and television.

A section of commenters also felt the issue had been blown out of proportion, with some insisting there was no wardrobe malfunction in the original upload.

Meanwhile, fans responding to Sonu's Instagram post have urged authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly if AI manipulation is confirmed. Many also called for strict action against those responsible for creating and circulating allegedly doctored content.
