Filmmaker Subhash Ghai on Friday shared a sand portrait featuring him on X and claimed that it was created by Odisha-based sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik, who received Padma Shri in 2014. Fact-checking him, Pattnaik wrote, "With due respect, I would like to share that the sand sculpture appears to be AI-generated." Several fans have reacted to their interaction.
