The whole incident sparks a big debate on ethics in digital mediaĀ and rights of artists. šš„

šµļøāāļø Bollywoodās most intense actor Kay Kay MenonĀ just dropped a truth bomb on social media š£. The man behind iconic roles in Haider, Special Ops, and Black FridayĀ said a video from his web series promotions was chopped up āļø and put into a Congress campaign adĀ ā and he had no clueĀ about it! š² #KayKayMenon #VoteChori
š¹ The Congress ad in question was part of their #VoteChoriĀ campaign, aimed at accusing rivals of stealing votesĀ during elections š³ļø. In the viral clip, Menonās Special OpsĀ character Himmat SinghĀ starts by saying, "Ruko ruko yaar, scroll karna bandh karoā¦", before the frame switches to Congress leaders talking about safeguarding democracy ā.
š« Menon was quick to respond: āPlease note I have not acted in this ad. My clip has been used without permission.āĀ š„ The post went viral on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, sparking outrage among fans and netizens. Many called it a clear violation of an artistās rights. #MediaEthics #ActorRights
š Legal expertsĀ say this could count as a copyright infringementĀ and even misrepresentationĀ under Indian law š. If taken to court, the case might involve defamation, unauthorized use of likeness, and intellectual property theft.
šÆ Why it matters for the working people: When powerful political parties start lifting content without asking, itās a reminder that even everyday workers ā from actors to farmers ā need stronger protection for their workĀ šŖ. In a country where ordinary citizens already fight for their daily rights, media misuse by the powerfulĀ only makes it worse.
š In recent years, multiple public figures ā from actors like Pankaj TripathiĀ to cricketers like Virat KohliĀ ā have faced similar misuse of their image for ads they never endorsed š. This shows how digital manipulationĀ is becoming a dangerous trend in politics and advertising. #FakeNewsAlert #DigitalSafety
š¬ Peopleās Perspective: Whether you agree with Congressās politics or not, itās wrong to drag someoneās face into a political battle without consent. If big stars can be exploited like this, imagine the common man whose videos are taken from TikTok or YouTube and twisted for someoneās gain š¤¦āāļø.
š„ MediaFx Opinion: Democracy is about truth and transparency, not cutting and pasting faces to sell a political agenda. Today itās Kay Kay Menon, tomorrow it could be a school teacher, a street vendor, or even you. We need strict laws, quick punishments, and public awareness to stop such misuse before it destroys trust in media altogether. #JusticeForArtists #ProtectOurVoices
