Mumbai: In response to rampant misinformation and rumors about his personal life, Bollywood actor Govinda has sent out a legal notice to media houses, digital platforms, and content producers. The notice urges them to refrain from disseminating false, defamatory, or unverified information regarding Govinda or his family. Sunita Ahuja, Govinda's wife, and actor Rakhi Sawant's recent conversation went viral, in which Sunita mentioned that she dropped a divorce petition after allegedly receiving assurances from Govinda about marrying actress Rani Swarnkar.
The notice highlights concerns around deepfakes, manipulated images, and synthetic content generated through artificial intelligence or digital technology. The actor has explicitly stated that he has not granted permission to any entity to create, manipulate, or utilize his voice, image, identity, or personal and family details using AI tools or other digital means.
Govinda has warned that any such misuse could be met with legal action under laws related to defamation, privacy violations, identity misuse, and cybercrime. He has pledged to pursue both civil and criminal proceedings against those found responsible for spreading allegedly false or malicious material. The notice refers to provisions under the recently enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Govinda has also threatened potential claims of up to ₹100 crore against guilty parties. Furthermore, he aims to seek legal remedies, including court orders against bank accounts, restrictions on property transactions, passport-related actions, and other available legal measures. This notice also targets YouTube channels and social media accounts that have deliberately shared misleading content about Govinda.
The actor expressed concern that the rumors about his personal life might be part of an organized effort to tarnish his public image. Through this notice, Govinda aims to curb the spread of unverified claims and misinformation about his family and personal affairs on digital platforms.
