Hrithik Roshan has recently joined the growing list of celebrities who have taken legal steps to protect their personality rights. While it may seem like a trend among public figures, safeguarding personality rights is crucial, especially in the age of artificial intelligence.
Hrithik Roshan Gets Relief As Delhi High Court Protects Personality Rights
According to Lakshmikumaran Sridharan Attorneys, the term ‘celebrity’ is often seen as a mark of success and honour. Athletes and artists earn it through talent, businesspeople and TV personalities through wit, politicians via votes, and some acquire it by birth or chance involvement in high-profile events.
When celebrities seek to protect their personality rights, there are two key aspects: first, the right to prevent unauthorised commercial use of their image, known as publicity rights under intellectual property law; and second, the right to privacy, which is the right to be left alone.
According to a Law Beat report, Hrithik was granted relief by the Delhi High Court, which directed the removal of certain posts infringing on his personality rights, including unauthorized use of his name, image, and likeness. However, the court declined to order the immediate takedown of fan pages dedicated to him, stating that fans’ pages cannot be removed at this stage without proper proceedings.
Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora explained that fan clubs should be given a chance to respond, and the matter will be revisited on March 27, 2026.
Which Celebs Have Sought Personal Rights?
