Delhi High Court Orders Removal of Obscene Content Involving Janhvi Kapoor, Rejects Blanket Fan Page BanPreviousNext

The Delhi High Court ordered the removal of obscene and pornographic online content involving actress Janhvi Kapoor, including AI-generated deepfakes and impersonations exploiting her likeness without consent. However, the court declined to impose a blanket ban on fan pages, emphasizing the need to balance personality rights with free speech and criticism. The court asked Kapoor's legal team to specify URLs with clearly obscene or commercially exploitative content. Similar protections were extended to her sister Khushi Kapoor against unauthorized merchandise and obscene content online.
