A photo of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi is viral on social media with the claim that he attended the wedding of American billionaire George Soros' son, Alexander Soros. The image purportedly shows Gandhi congratulating Soros and his spouse, Huma Abedin, a former political aide to Hillary Clinton. However, BOOM found that the image is AI generated.
The claim went viral after Soros and Abedin got married in New York on June 14, 2025.

What We Found: AI Generated Image
While analysing the image, we noticed that the hand shapes of Gandhi, Soros, and Abedin appear distorted
1. Image is AI generated
BOOM analysed the image using AI detection tools. Hive Moderation indicated a 99.9 percent probability that the image was AI-generated, while the tool Wasitai also confirmed that it was created using artificial intelligence.
2. Rahul Gandhi did not attend the wedding
BOOM contacted Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera for confirmation. He stated that the image is AI-generated and the claim is fake. He also clarified that Gandhi was not on a visit to the United States.
Further, we did not find any credible news report confirming that Gandhi attended the wedding of George Soros' son.
However, a report by The New York Times mentioned that former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and former Vice President Kamala Harris were present at the event—there was no mention of Gandhi.
