In a post on X, Tendulkar mentioned the doctored video - where he is seen promoting a gaming application - and expressed concerns about the misuse of technology. Chandrasekhar said that a recent advisory by the IT Ministry requires platforms to fully comply with this. "We will be shortly notifying tighter rules under the IT Act to ensure compliance by platforms," the minister said. The fake video shows Tendulkar talking about the merits of the application, saying he did not know that money-making has become so easy and that his daughter uses the platform. Tendulkar posted the video along with a message in which he expressed concern about the misuse of technology.
