Actor Sunil Shetty has moved the Bombay high court seeking protection of his personality rights, claiming that several social media pages and websites were using his photographs to promote their business, without any authorisation. In an interim application, Shetty asked the court to order all such websites to forthwith remove his pictures and restrain them from using the same in future.
A bench of Justice Arif Doctor on October 10 briefly heard Sunil’s counsel and reserved its order on the plea. The actor’s advocate told the court that the website of a real estate agency and a gambling site had displayed Sunil Shetty’s photographs even though he was not associated with them.
