Janhvi Kapoor’s Delhi High Court case has sparked a question that goes far beyond one actress: can Bollywood stars enjoy the visibility that comes with fame while controlling how that fame is used online?
But it refused to ban fan pages, observing that public figures cannot expect complete control over online fandom.
Fan pages, parody and public commentary cannot automatically be treated as legal violations.
“You can prevent the misuse of your face and voice, but you can’t stop fan pages celebrating their favourite stars.”
Khushi joins the legal battle:Just a day after Janhvi Kapoor’s case, Khushi Kapoor also approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection of her personality rights.
