Actor Salman Khan has taken his fight against online identity theft to the Delhi High Court, seeking protection of his personality and publicity rights. In a hearing on Thursday, the court ordered social media platforms to respond to his complaint and take action within three days. Khan's petition alleges that numerous entities have been exploiting his name, image, voice, and other attributes without consent, putting his brand value at risk and causing potential financial harm. This is not the first time a Bollywood star has taken legal action against social media misuse. Other celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Jr NTR, have also approached the court to curb exploitation. Khan's recent films, such as Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3, have garnered attention, but his latest project, Sikandar, received mixed reviews. The actor is set to appear in upcoming films, including Battle of Galwan. The court's decision aims to address the issue of identity theft on social media and protect celebrities' rights. The outcome of this case may set a precedent for future cases involving online identity exploitation. With the Delhi HC's three-day deadline looming, social media platforms will have to take swift action to address Khan's concerns and prevent further misuse of his identity.
