Actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra has taken a significant step to safeguard her reputation by filing a lawsuit in the Bombay High Court. The suit aims to protect her personality rights, which have been compromised due to unauthorized use of her images on various websites. The defendants, numbering over 300, have allegedly used her pictures for commercial purposes without consent. This includes morphed images and videos that have been shared online. The lawsuit, filed by advocate Sana Raees Khan, emphasizes that Shilpa Shetty's reputation, built over decades of hard work, cannot be exploited without her permission. 'No entity can appropriate her name or likeness without consent,' Khan stated. 'The unauthorized commercial exploitation of her identity is an assault on her dignity and reputation.' Shilpa Shetty's move is part of a growing trend among public figures seeking protection for their personality rights. As the case unfolds in the Bombay High Court, it remains to be seen how the court will address the issue of online reputation and the limits of commercial exploitation.
