Janhvi, Khushi Kapoor win Delhi High Court protection against obscene online content: ‘How do we draw the line?’

## Court Ruling on Obscene Content

The Delhi High Court has granted protection to Bollywood actors Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor against obscene and defamatory online content. The court ordered the removal of such material but did not impose a complete ban on fan pages using Janhvi's name.

## Legal Relief for Khushi Kapoor

Khushi Kapoor received legal relief as the court directed social media platforms to remove content that was allegedly obscene or defamatory. This includes unauthorized commercial use of her identity. The court issued a John Doe order to protect her from unidentified individuals exploiting her persona.

## Broader Implications

Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani highlighted the challenge of balancing personality rights with freedom of expression. He questioned the extent to which fan pages can be restricted, emphasizing that not all criticism or discussion of public figures should be curtailed. The judge noted that while some content may be satire or critique, commercial exploitation is a different matter.

## Background

Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor are daughters of producer Boney Kapoor and the late actress Sridevi. Khushi has appeared in films like "The Archies," while Janhvi is known for "Dhadak" and "Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl."
