Kriti Sanon moves Delhi High Court for personality rights protection
Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon on Friday, 16 October 2026, moved the Delhi High Court seeking protection of her personality and publicity rights against unauthorised use of her name, image, voice and likeness, including through AI-generated content and digital impersonation. Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav asked her counsel, advocate Pravin Anand, to file a compilation of relevant judgments and research material on the legal principles governing personality rights before a comprehensive order is passed.
Anand submitted that personality rights cover a person's name, voice, face, image, photographs and videos, and include the unauthorised commercial use of someone's identity for monetary gain. The court noted such cases are being filed frequently and required wider examination. The matter has been listed for further hearing on 29 October.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same core facts: Kriti Sanon has moved the Delhi High Court seeking protection of her personality rights, and Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav has asked for a compilation of judgments and research before passing a comprehensive order, with the next hearing on 29 October. LiveLaw and Kalinga TV present the development as a straight court proceeding, while YesPunjab frames the petition specifically against AI misuse and digital impersonation, leading with the AI threat. Kalinga TV provides the most contextual background on personality rights law and competing interests like freedom of expression. The shared coverage is uniform in reporting the judicial steps, the main variance is YesPunjab’s sharper emphasis on AI-generated content. The next hearing on 29 October will test whether the court accepts the compilation and sets broader legal principles.
