Delhi HC safeguards Sonakshi Sinha's personality rights, prohibiting unauthorised use of her image and attributes across platforms.
The Delhi High Court has protected the personality rights of Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha by restraining several platforms, including AI chatbots, from unauthorised use of her image, voice or any other attributes of her persona.
Justice Jyoti Singh also restrained the sale of merchandise using her name or image without consent and encashing her goodwill and reputation.
The court directed the infringing parties to take down weblinks within 36 hours.
In an interim order passed on March 20 on a lawsuit by Ms. Sinha, the court said the actor has the right to protect her name, likeness and all other attributes of her personality.
No third party has the right to use these attributes without her consent or authorisation, the court noted.
The actor said two U.S.-based platforms had deployed multiple chatbots that impersonated her and generated lewd and obscene content.
