Kangana Ranaut Seeks Delhi High Court Protection for Personality Rights
Kangana Ranaut has asked a court in Delhi to protect parts of her identity.
She says people should not use things like her name, picture or likeness to make money without permission.
A judge is scheduled to hear her request on Thursday.
These protections are often called personality or publicity rights.
The article says courts have granted similar protections to other actors.
Public figures can still be discussed and reported on.
But the court has generally said their distinctive identity should not ordinarily be used commercially without consent.
