Mumbai Court Bars Kamal Rashid Khan From Defaming Producer Vashu Bhagnani
A Mumbai court has stepped in to stop actor Kamal Rashid Khan from posting defamatory claims about film producer Vashu Bhagnani. The legal action follows a 2021 lawsuit filed by Bhagnani over Khan’s repeated online statements, which allegedly harmed his reputation and privacy rights.
The dispute began in 2021 when Bhagnani took Khan to court. He accused the actor of spreading damaging allegations across multiple platforms. Bhagnani argued that these posts violated his right to privacy and tarnished his professional standing.
The city civil court has now ordered Khan to halt any further defamatory publications. This temporary restraining order will remain in place until the lawsuit is fully resolved. However, the court declined Bhagnani’s request for a written, unconditional apology from Khan. Khan’s posts had prompted Bhagnani to seek legal protection, leading to the current restrictions. The producer’s legal team maintained that the actor’s statements caused ongoing harm to his personal and professional life.
The court’s decision prevents Khan from making additional defamatory remarks while the case proceeds. Bhagnani’s lawsuit will determine whether permanent restrictions or further legal consequences apply. For now, the restraining order stands as the primary measure against Khan’s online claims.
