Taapsee Pannu on tiff with paparaazi
In an interview with Fever FM, the Manmarziyaan actor explained why she doesn't believe in "appeasing paps" and how the photographers misuse her statements and videos for their commercial gain.
Taapsee questioned how people would click on positive news, asking who actually does that and when anyone last clicked on a positive news story. She noted that sensational news like "She's being nasty and rude to the paparazzi" is more exciting for the audience, as it prompts reactions of curiosity, making people want to see what happened.
Pannu added, “Mujhe ye cheezein picturein laa ke nahi de rahi (These things aren't fetching me films). She stated that "she doesn't need to appease a section of the so-called media", which she doesn't even consider direct media because they are only interested in getting clicks on their portals. She added that she "doesn't call them as media", as media should not be desperately posting clickbait lines or videos.
She also noted that the paparazzi know exactly when they come physically too close to her, shout at her, or chase her car. She emphasized that she doesn't want to feel apologetic about her privilege and wants them to respect her privacy and physical space, considering herself a "normal woman".
