Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan have filed a case against YouTube and its original company Google, demanding Rs 4 crore (about $ 450,000). The legal move of the couple comes after a series of their alleged AI-based Deepfek videos, which recently appeared on the stage with the aim of protecting the personality rights of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan after an order from the Delhi High Court.

The legal petition filed on 6 September requests the removal of a video violating the couple’s intellectual property rights and a permanent ban. Bachchan has also asked the court to direct YouTube that they prevent their video from being used to train rivals AI models, which cites increasing concerns over AI misuse in material construction.

According to the legal papers reviewed by RootsThe lawsuit targets “arrogant” and “sexually clear” AI-blessed materials. Bachchan argues that YouTube should introduce safety measures so that no material can be exploited by artificial intelligence that misuses his name, voice, or images. They oppose the current platform policies as AI technologies develop.

Couples specifically refer to a YouTube channel, Aye bollywoodWhich allegedly has more than 259 videos, which has a manipulated clips and has seen more than 16.5 million times. A widely seen video allegedly depicted Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan in a pool, while another has shown Abhishek Bachchan in a fabricated landscapes, such as suddenly reacting to an actress to kiss an actress or react in anger to a-reviewed scenes who involve their wife.

In his petition, the actors at risk of such materials being used in AI model training, which could increase the spread of violated videos. He said, “Such materials being used to train the AI ​​model have the ability to multiply examples of any violation of material ie it is being uploaded on YouTube first, which is being seen by the public, and then being used to train.”

The lawsuit also questions the policy of YouTube that creators are allowed to allow the platform to use the content uploaded for AI training. Bachchan says that there can be many fake videos that misuse people in a wrong way. They say that “it is dangerous to allow the creators to agrence for their videos being used to train the AI ​​model, as the materials that presents them incorrectly can eventually be multiplied themselves by AI.”

India currently lacks specific laws to protect “personality rights” in contrast to some courts in the United States. In recent years, a handful of Bollywood personalities have taken legal steps to claim these rights in Indian courts. However, Bachchan’s action represents one of the most important and high-profile cases associated with the intersection of celebrity, AI-related materials and privacy rights in India.

The petition repeatedly highlights the capacity of damage if the AI-borne deepfac is left uncontrolled. Bachchan insisted in his filing, “Such materials used to train the AI ​​model have the ability to multiply examples – first being uploaded on YouTube and has been seen by the public, and then AI is also being exploited for training.” Their case attracts attention to the need for regulatory clarity in the era of artificial intelligence and digital media.
