Right to Personality
Short Bio:
Right to Personality was recently in discussion when the veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan filed a suit in the Delhi High Court seeking protection of the use of his image, voice & name. The veteran actor also stated that he is aggrieved by the defendants using his personality attributes to promote their businesses, goods, and services without his knowledge or permission. The privacy interests and rights of public figures and celebrities may, in some circumstances, be protected as Intellectual property rights. Still, the need of the hour is to have a strong legal and regulatory mechanism for protecting privacy and personality rights.
