Aishwarya Rai gets major relief as Delhi High Court restrains companies and individuals from misusing her name and photographs without consent.

The court’s decision comes after concerns were raised about the unauthorized use of the actress’s identity for commercial gains, including promotional content and online advertisements.

Justice Sanjeev Narula, while hearing the matter, observed that celebrities have the exclusive right to control the use of their name, image, and likeness, and any unauthorized usage amounts to exploitation of their personality rights. The ruling emphasized that Aishwarya Rai’s name and photographs cannot be used without her permission, as it infringes upon her right to privacy and publicity.

The case is significant as it highlights the growing issue of misuse of celebrity names and photos on the internet, particularly in advertisements, online promotions, and merchandise sales. The Delhi High Court’s judgment reinforces the legal protection available to public figures against such exploitation.

Aishwarya Rai, one of India’s most iconic actresses and former Miss World, has maintained a dignified presence in Bollywood and global cinema. The verdict not only safeguards her rights but also sets a precedent for protecting other celebrities against unauthorised commercial use of their identity.

The court further warned violators that strict legal action would be taken against any future misuse of the actress’s identity, thereby strengthening the framework of celebrity rights in

India.
