In her suit, Zinta has named several intermediaries as respondents, including Google and Meta , along with domain name registrars and certain identified infringers. She has alleged that AI-generated deepfake videos, manipulated images, and chatbot-style interactions portraying her are being hosted across various online platforms. Appearing for Zinta, senior advocate Venkatesh Dhond argued that AI-generated deepfakes are becoming increasingly sophisticated. He urged the court to grant urgent ex parte relief directing identified websites and intermediaries to immediately remove all infringing material referred to in the pleadings.
