Delhi High Court Asks If Bachchan Reputation Extends Across Generations
Aaradhya is a young girl, and her parents are famous movie stars.
Some people shared false stories about her health and private life on the internet.
The stories were not true.
Aaradhya's family asked a big court, the Delhi High Court, to help.
A judge listened to the case on Thursday.
He asked interesting questions about whether a famous family's good name belongs to the children too.
He also asked whether fake news can hurt a person's rights the way stealing something does.
The court will talk about it again in September to decide what to do next.
The Delhi High Court is hearing a case filed by Aaradhya Bachchan over misleading online content about her.
The content allegedly made false claims about the health and private life of Aaradhya Bachchan, daughter of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani questioned whether a family's reputation can legally extend to younger generations.
The court asked whether fake news can be treated as an intellectual property violation.
The court also considered whether damage to reputation can be linked with personality or IP rights; the matter will return in September.
