Aaradhya Bachchan has moved the Delhi High Court to remove misleading online content about her. As per Bar and Bench, the court has issued a notice in response to her plea for a summary judgment against the spread of false information about the 13-year-old.
Legal notices have been sent to Google, Bollywood Times, and other platforms. The next hearing is on March 17. Earlier, in April 2023, the Delhi High Court ordered Google to remove false videos that wrongly claimed Aaradhya was ‘critically ill’ or had passed away.
