Kriti Sanon seeks Delhi High Court protection for personality rights
Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon has approached the Delhi High Court seeking legal protection for her personality and publicity rights. The plea aims to prevent the unauthorized use of her name, face, voice, images, and videos, particularly for commercial purposes and through artificial intelligence-generated content such as deepfakes and digital impersonation.
During a hearing on October 16, Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav requested Sanon’s counsel, Pravin Anand, to submit a comprehensive compilation of legal research, relevant judgments, and precedents. The court seeks to understand the full scope of personality rights and whether such disputes fall under the jurisdiction of the High Court’s Intellectual Property Division (IPD).
This case is part of a growing trend of high-profile individuals in India seeking legal recourse against identity misuse. Other public figures, including cricketers Gautam Gambhir and Sunil Gavaskar, and actors such as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Kangana Ranaut, have recently sought or secured similar protections against unauthorized AI-generated imitations and commercial exploitation.
