Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan had moved to the Delhi High Court seeking protection of their personality rights, and the court had given the order in their favour. Now, filmmaker Karan Johar has approached the Delhi HC for the protection of his personality rights. According to Bar And Bench, the case was heard by the court on Monday.

Senior Advocate Rajshekhar Rao, who represented Karan, alleged that the filmmaker's name was being misused to raise funds. In his appeal, Karan has said, "These are websites where my photos are downloaded. Various pages on various [social media] platforms are in my name."

Meta Platforms told the Court that many of the comments mentioned in Johar’s case are not defamatory. Advocate Varun Pathak argued that giving a blanket ban on such comments could lead to a flood of similar cases.
