At the trailer launch of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari in Mumbai, actress Janhvi Kapoor spoke about the misuse of celebrity images online. She said many fake pictures of her circulate on social media, and while celebrities can spot them, the public often believes they are real.
The event also featured Varun Dhawan, who stressed that technology comes with both benefits and risks. He warned that without regulations, actors could one day be replaced by digital versions, highlighting the importance of protecting their unique identity.
The discussion comes amid recent Delhi High Court cases where Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and filmmaker Karan Johar filed petitions against unauthorized use of their images, names, and likenesses, including deepfakes and fake merchandise. The court has recognized such misuse as unacceptable, underlining the growing importance of personality rights in the digital era.
