Bombay High Court Reserves Orders on Shatrughan Sinha’s Plea to Protect Personality Rights

The Bombay High Court reserved orders on a plea filed by Shatrughan Sinha seeking protection of his personality rights.

The actor and Lok Sabha MP approached the Court alleging widespread online misuse of his name, image, voice, and iconic dialogue “Khamosh” through deepfakes, content, and merchandise.

Sinha sought interim and permanent injunctions against John Doe parties, technology companies, and e-commerce platforms from commercially exploiting his persona without consent.

The plea also claims ₹20 crore in damages or, alternatively, an account of profits earned through the alleged unauthorised use.
