From Rajpal Yadav to Salman Khan: Bollywood actors entangled in recent legal battles
From Rajpal Yadav’s cheque-bounce case to Salman Khan’s ongoing defamation battle, several Bollywood actors are navigating courtrooms alongside careers, highlighting how fame often comes with prolonged legal scrutiny.
1/8
Rajpal Yadav - Rajpal Yadav’s cheque-bounce cases reached a fresh flashpoint in early February 2026 after the Delhi High Court refused to extend time and directed him to surrender. He then surrendered at Tihar Jail, with the court citing repeated non-compliance with settlement undertakings and allowing release of cheque amounts to the complainant.

Karisma Kapoor - Karisma Kapoor is tied to an ongoing high-stakes inheritance and trust dispute connected to the late Sunjay Kapur’s estate. Recent court proceedings have involved her children and Sunjay Kapur’s family members, with petitions and notices moving through higher courts and related hearings in Delhi. It’s a civil battle, but very active and very public.
3/8
Manoj Bajpayee - Manoj Bajpayee’s upcoming project “Ghooskhor Pandat” triggered legal trouble after backlash over the title. Reports say an FIR was filed in Lucknow alleging caste/community insult, and the teaser was pulled amid the controversy. Bajpayee and the makers have maintained the title wasn’t intended as a statement about any community, but the case pushed it into legal territory.
4/8
Ranveer Singh - Ranveer Singh faced a fresh police case after a court-ordered FIR in Bengaluru, linked to a complaint that his stage appearance at IFFI 2025 allegedly hurt religious sentiments. The alleged incident occurred on November 28, 2025, and the FIR was registered in late January 2026.

Ajay Devgn - Ajay Devgn recently moved court over personality rights, targeting AI deepfakes and misuse of his name/image online. The Delhi High Court order/coverage around late 2025 reflects a growing legal trend: celebrities treating deepfakes like identity theft, not “just memes.” These cases usually seek takedowns, restraints on future uploads, and platform compliance.
7/8
Vivek Oberoi - Vivek Oberoi filed a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking protection against alleged misuse of his identity in AI-generated deepfake content and fake profiles. Reports describe the content as vulgar/sexually explicit, with Oberoi asking for restraint orders and takedowns. This is part of the wider “my face is being weaponised online” legal wave.
8/8
Suniel Shetty - Suniel Shetty secured ex-parte ad-interim relief from the Bombay High Court against unauthorised use of his persona through AI deepfakes and false endorsements online. The legal idea is simple: your identity is a commercial asset and a privacy right, and random people can’t print money off your face. Courts are increasingly sympathetic to this logic.
