Mumbai Court Temporarily Restrains Abhinav Kashyap From Commenting on Salman Khan, Family

The ad-interim order stems from a suit over 26 online interviews that Khan alleges were defamatory.

Overview

  • Judge P G Bhosale granted an ex-parte injunction barring further publication, reposting or interviews about Khan and his family until the defendants appear and file replies.
  • The court said the impugned remarks are prima facie defamatory and stressed that free speech does not permit abusive or threatening language against an individual.
  • Defendants named include Abhinav Kashyap, Komal Mehru and Khushboo Hazare, with the videos hosted on the Bollywood Thikana channel between September and December 2025.
  • Khan seeks a permanent injunction, Rs 9 crore in damages, takedowns of all contested content and an unconditional apology, with major platforms such as Google and Meta represented in court.
  • The lawsuit cites statements and imagery it says maligned Khan and his family, and it notes prior takedown notices were not complied with before litigation.
