Shatrughan Sinha
Veteran actor and Lok Sabha MP Shatrughan Sinha recently approached the Bombay High Court seeking protection of his personality rights. In his plea, he alleged rampant online misuse of his name, image and his iconic dialogue 'Khamosh', which featured in the film Vishwanath. He also claimed damages of Rs 20 crores or payment of profits.
Justice Sharmila Deshmukh on Monday reserved her order on Sinha's plea seeking an interim injunction. Invoking his right to privacy under Article 21 of the Constitution and the performers’ rights under the Copyright Act, the actor claimed that his performances are being modified in a manner that is prejudicial to his reputation.
