Actor **Preity Zinta** has asked the **Bombay High Court** to order Google, Meta, X Corp and other respondents to take down AI-generated deepfake videos, morphed images and chatbot personas using her likeness, and on **July 3, 2026** Justice Madhav Jamdar said she has made a case for protective relief. The court directed the parties to devise a practical takedown protocol that balances removing infringing content with protecting lawful material, with orders expected **July 6, 2026**. Counsel for Google and Meta said they would remove URLs the plaintiff identifies but opposed a blanket takedown order. The suit follows a June 16, 2026 ruling letting Zinta sue under the court's original jurisdiction, and the eventual protocol could become a practical template for how platforms handle deepfake takedown requests in India.
