On Wednesday, the court directed removal of certain objectionable posts against him on social media. Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora said it was not passing any ex-parte directions, at the interim stage, for the removal of certain fan pages and said an order would be passed after hearing them.
The court, which listed the matter for further hearing on March 27, 2026, said it would pass a detailed interim injunction order later.
Just before Hrithik Roshan, Suniel Shetty had approached the Bombay High Court on October 10 for the protection of personality rights. According to his petition, his pictures and videos are being used without permission on business platforms and astrology platforms.
Suniel Shetty has also demanded action against merchandise being sold using his image. It is alleged that some people are doing business using deepfake images of him and his grandson.
What is Personality Right?
This is a right related to the personality of a man or woman, which has received protection under the right to privacy. Famous people have special rights over their photos, voice, and things related to their personality. Sometimes some companies use it without their permission, which is wrong. If a celebrity takes personality rights, and their pictures are used without permission, they can complain about it.
These celebs have taken personality rights-
In September, filmmaker Karan Johar filed a petition in the Delhi High Court for personality rights. He sought to stop the promotion being done through his pictures, after which the court secured his personality rights.

This campaign was started by Amitabh Bachchan in 2022, and he secured the rights to his voice and pictures.
