Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi has approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection of his personality rights. Bedi has been a part of the Indian film and television industry for over four decades and is known for his comic roles.
The Delhi High Court has dealt with several cases involving personality rights in recent years. The court has passed orders to stop the unauthorised use of a public figure's name, image, voice or likeness.
Several celebrities have received similar protection. They include Tabu, Yuvraj Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Shashi Tharoor, Pawan Kalyan, Aman Gupta, Allu Arjun, Mohanlal, Nagarjuna, NTR Jr., Kajol, R Madhavan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan. Karan Johar, Aniruddhacharya, Jubin Nautiyal and Sunil Gavaskar have also secured such orders. Salman Khan has filed a similar case.
