Bollywood actor Salman Khan's feud with his Panvel farmhouse neighbour, Ketan Kakkad, has been ongoing for years. The Bombay High Court recently observed that social media does not entitle anyone to make defamatory posts against a celebrity, urging the neighbour to delete their posts against Salman.
The court, led by Justice Sharmila Deshmukh, questioned why anyone should upload content on social media rather than address their grievances with the concerned authorities. The HC also remarked that access to social media does not entitle anyone to post defamatory content about anyone, including celebrities.
Ketan alleged that Salman violated environmental norms and blocked access to his property, saying no action was taken when authorities were approached. A further hearing has been posted for July 6.
The case dates back to 2022 when Salman filed a defamation suit against Ketan over Tweets and YouTube videos concerning a property dispute. Salman alleged that the videos and posts were not just defamatory but also communally provocative.
Salman will soon star in Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace and has a film directed by Vamshi Paidipally and co-starring Nayanthara.
