Television actress Rupali Ganguly approached the Bombay High Court seeking legal protection against the unauthorised use of her photographs, videos and other personal attributes across online and offline platforms. She alleged that her images were being misused by various businesses and websites, including platforms hosting adult content featuring AI-generated deepfake images and morphed videos, and also by boutiques, celebrity booking agencies, artist management firms and online portals. Through her lawyer, Sana Khan, she urged the court to direct removal of objectionable content and to safeguard against unauthorised commercial and digital use of her name, image and likeness. The matter is scheduled for hearing before Justice Madhav Jamdar on November 4.
