Indian actress and lawmaker Kangana Ranaut asks Delhi High Court to stop unauthorized use of her identity

On October 8, 2026, Indian actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut approached the Delhi High Court to protect her personality and publicity rights against unauthorized use, including pornographic and obscene content on digital platforms. Justice Vikas Mahajan issued summons and notice on her interim injunction application. The court asked her counsel to provide defendant names for a takedown order and to file a revised memo of parties. The next hearing is scheduled for February 3, 2027. This case is part of a growing number of personality rights disputes in India involving AI-generated impersonation and deepfakes.
