Sakshi and Varun on Instagram (sakunkizindagi) Let me tell you a story.

An influencer posted a reel claiming that she traveled across Sri Lanka for 10 nights for just 65k per person. Out of curiosity, I checked her other stories and realized she had stayed at premium properties like Theva, along with other well-known hotels where the nightly tariff alone can be around 20k. She was also dining at gourmet restaurants like Shady Lane.

So I politely questioned how the entire trip—including hotels, food, transport, and sightseeing—could possibly cost only 65k per person. Instead of explaining, she replied rather rudely, saying, "Wait for my itinerary, then talk."

As I kept reading the comments, I noticed many other people were asking the exact same question. Soon enough, she started blocking those people too. Deep down, I think she knows that even an AI would struggle to produce a realistic cost breakdown for a 10-day Sri Lanka itinerary covering all the major destinations while staying at those kinds of hotels and eating at those restaurants within. That's the worrying part. Social media has made misinformation look normal, and the world is slowly becoming a place where appearances matter more than the truth
