Overview

• Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan filed separate Delhi High Court suits seeking $450,000 in damages and a permanent injunction against unauthorised use of their image, voice and likeness.
• Their petitions ask the court to require YouTube and Google to implement safeguards so uploaded videos do not train external AI models without proper controls.
• The filings span about 1,500 pages and cite hundreds of URLs with allegedly egregious or sexually explicit AI‑manipulated videos portraying the actors.
• Reuters found similar AI content still live on YouTube, including the channel AI Bollywood Ishq with 259 AI-crafted Bollywood videos and 16.5 million views.
• YouTube’s policy lets creators opt in to share videos for third‑party AI training, a practice the actors say risks entrenching misleading depictions in a country without explicit statutory personality rights.
