Overview

• The court indicated ad‑interim protection for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and directed takedown action limited to 151 specified URLs, with detailed written orders awaited.
• Rai’s suit details alleged AI‑generated pornographic deepfakes, fake endorsements and impersonation, unauthorized merchandise sales, and a site falsely claiming to be her official platform.
• Google and other platforms were told removals must be URL‑specific, with the judge clarifying that relief will be divided defendant‑wise and can proceed through platform orders or government blocking channels.
• Abhishek Bachchan filed a separate petition seeking similar protection, naming the Bollywood Tee Shop over merchandise and requesting takedowns and the ability to proceed against unidentified ‘John Doe’ offenders.
• Both matters are listed for further hearing on January 15, 2026, building on Delhi High Court precedents that recognized celebrity personality rights in cases involving Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, and Jackie Shroff.
