Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan have reportedly filed a lawsuit against YouTube and its parent company Google. The Bollywood couple sought Rs 4 crore (around USD450,000) in damages. The legal move comes after a series of their alleged AI-generated deepfake videos allegedly appeared on the platform, after a recent Delhi High Court order, which aimed at protecting Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan`s personality rights.
