Arjun Kapoor Has Not Confirmed Legal Action Against Rajasthan Royals Over Meme Post

Social media claims that Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor filed a defamation case against IPL team Rajasthan Royals over a meme post remain unverified. The franchise deleted the meme featuring Kapoor's image after backlash concerning personality rights. Neither Kapoor nor his team has confirmed any legal action, and no public court filings have emerged. Earlier, the Delhi High Court issued an interim order protecting Kapoor's personality and publicity rights against unauthorized use.
