Of late many celebrities are approaching courts for legal protection over misuse of their names, pictures etc.
Already celebrities like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, her husband Abhishek Bachchan, his mother Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and Ajay Devgn, filmmaker Karan Johar, singer Kumar Sanu, Chiranjeevi, NTR, Akkineni Nagarjuna, 'Art of Living' founder Ravi Shankar, journalist Sudhir Chaudhary and podcaster Raj Shamani approached High Court for protection.
Now, Salman Khan approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection over the misuse of his name and pictures on various websites. Salman Khan's plea will be held on 11 December by Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora.
Salman Khan approached High Court to restrain several social media platforms, websites and e-commerce entities from using his name, photographs, voice, likeness or any aspect of his persona without permission. The petition argues that such unauthorised use not only violates his personality rights but also misleads the public and allows third parties to profit from his identity.
