Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection of her personality rights and an order against unauthorised use of her name, images, and AI-generated pornographic material. The matter came up on Tuesday before Justice Tejas Karia, who orally indicated that an ad-interim order cautioning the defendants would be passed, a PTI report stated.
"There can be no right in their favour to use her images, likeness or persona. A gentleman is collecting money merely by putting my name and face," Sethi argued.
"Her name and likeness is being used to satisfy someone's sexual desires. This is very unfortunate," he said.
Rai was also represented by advocates Pravin Anand and Dhruv Anand.
The high court has listed the matter for further proceedings before the joint registrar on November 7 and for hearing before the court on January 15, 2026.
