Delhi High Court Shields Hrithik Roshan’s Personality Rights, Orders Removal of Infringing Links and AI Content

The judge declined to take down non‑commercial fan pages at this stage.

Overview

  • Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora directed platforms and e‑commerce sites to remove specific URLs and listings that allegedly exploit Roshan’s name, image, or likeness for profit.
  • The court ordered takedown of AI‑generated content involving the actor but refused ex‑parte removal of fan pages that do not show commercialisation or defamation.
  • The matter is listed for March 27, 2026 for a detailed interim injunction, with Basic Subscriber Information to be sought to help identify operators of certain pages.
  • Roshan’s suit names both identified parties and unknown ‘John Does’, reflecting the online and cross‑jurisdictional nature of alleged misuse.
  • In parallel, the court moved to protect singer Kumar Sanu’s rights and has sought explanations from Meta and Google on takedown processes, while Akshay Kumar filed a similar petition in the Bombay High Court.
