After the Delhi High Court granted interim protection to actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in a personality rights case, her Advocate Pravin Anand said the judgment is of "very significant importance" as it strengthens the legal framework around publicity rights in India.

Pravin Anand, who is presently in Japan, sent his reaction to ANI from there. He said, "The Delhi High Court has given a very significant decision in the case of Aishwarya Rai and this case is particularly important for the fact that it lays down a strong foundation for the right of publicity. The right of publicity in India is not protected by a statute... we protect it as an extension of the right of privacy under Article 21 of the Constitution."
