"My wife's dignity has been compromised"
Ducky Bhai addressed the deepfake video of his wife, offering a reward to the person who provides information that leads to the identification of the perpetrator.
Departing from his usual light-hearted content, the YouTuber posted a video, seeking assistance to identify the individuals responsible.
A nude deepfake video of Aroob Jatoi has been circulating online.
Desperate to find the perpetrator, Ducky offered PKR 1 million (£2,800) for credible information.
In the video, he said: “I never imagined I’d have to make such a post, and it saddens me to do so.
“My wife’s dignity has been compromised, and I must clarify that it has no basis in reality.”
Ducky disclosed that before the leak, he and Aroob had received threats, which they had chosen to ignore.
Ducky continued: “It was my fans who alerted me to the situation and urged me to issue a clarification.”
Addressing doubts about the authenticity of the video, Ducky provided a link to a separate video explaining deepfake technology.
Displaying a screenshot from the deepfake, Ducky revealed telltale signs that proved the video was fake.
“If you observe closely, you’ll notice slight distortions in the background.
“This pixelation is common in deepfake videos. Upon close inspection, the face of the actual girl becomes discernible.
“Furthermore, the robotic expressions throughout the video are characteristic of deepfake technology.
“All evidence confirms that this video is entirely fabricated.”
Aroob made a poignant statement beside her husband.
She said: “Whatever has happened to me is done. But I don’t want anyone else to endure the misery I’ve experienced in the past 24 hours.
“No woman should ever face such adversity.”
Appealing to his vast audience, Ducky Bhai requested help to locate the original video.
Providing an email address, he encouraged individuals with information to come forward with concrete evidence.
He added: “Your identity will remain confidential. I seek to uncover the truth behind this incident.
“I simply want the source video and the person responsible for its manipulation.”
In a final plea, Aroob urged viewers encountering the deepfake to denounce its authenticity in the comments.
The deepfake video sparked an online debate and divided netizens.
A user commented: “This is what happens when you display your wife to the world just for content.”
Another added: “This is a deep message for all the content creators to not use their family for content.”
One asked: “What did you expect? You even show your bathroom in your videos and you were shocked when this happened?”
Another said: “AI terrifies me. It can ruin a person’s life within seconds. Stay strong. Hopefully, everything will be fine.”
