Kajol's Identity Shielded by Delhi High Court
20 Feb
Summary
- Court order protects Kajol's name, image, and voice.
- AI tools like deepfakes are restricted from misuse.
- Pornographic content in her name ordered removed.
The Delhi High Court has issued an interim order to protect the personality rights of actor Kajol Devgan. The court's directive prevents the unauthorized commercial use of her name, image, voice, and likeness. This crucial protection extends to safeguarding her identity from misuse via artificial intelligence tools, such as deepfakes and other manipulated digital content.
Justice Jyoti Singh's order also mandates the removal of pornographic and obscene materials that have been circulated online in Kajol's name. This ruling follows a trend of public figures seeking legal safeguards for their publicity rights in the digital age.
Similar protections have recently been extended to other prominent personalities, including Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The court has emphasized that individuals possess exclusive control over the commercial and digital exploitation of their persona, while acknowledging exceptions for satire and artistic expression.
