The Delhi High Court has ordered the removal of obscene and pornographic content concerning actor Janhvi Kapoor that is available online. The order came in response to Kapoor’s petition seeking protection of her personality rights. The court, however, refused to direct the blanket removal of all fan pages and URLs associated with her name or identity. The ruling therefore grants partial relief, targeting specific objectionable content rather than every online page linked to Kapoor.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Personality-rights cases involve control over the commercial or unauthorised use of a person’s name, image and identity. Courts must also distinguish between unlawful material and legitimate fan activity or commentary. A blanket order covering every related URL can affect lawful speech, while a targeted order can address content that breaches legal protections. The next point to watch is how platforms identify and remove the material covered by the court’s direction.
