Taapsee Pannu has had several confrontations with the paparazzi in the past. The actor has always maintained strong boundaries with photographers and has often been seen getting into arguments with them. This has led many to compare her with Jaya Bachchan , who has also been vocal about photographers invading her privacy. In a recent interaction, Taapsee reacted to the comparison.
I only look at the brighter side. She’s a very good actor and a very solid woman. People are being too kind by comparing me to her. I know that I haven’t ever raised my voice at anybody. That’s not what I do. I don’t abuse anybody. My boundaries are very clear. And a woman with very clear boundaries is very intimidating. My sense of right and wrong is very clear in front of them and they don’t like that. I’m supposed to be a little more submissive and extra polite. I, in fact, am shouted at by them. Taapsee shared that she isn’t used to people shouting at her, which is why she gets upset when paparazzi shout her name. The actor further suggested that the labels given to her are partly meant to generate clicks and help paparazzi run their social media pages.
Reacting to being called ‘dusri Jaya Bachchan’ and ‘ Jaya Bachchan lite’, Taapsee told News18, “I think that’s a compliment. Defending her stance against the paparazzi, Taapsee said, “To be honest, I really don’t care. I don’t like that,” she said. She also said that while photographers claim she gets angry at them, she actually shuts down when she is genuinely angry. She said she is ultimately helping them get views.
Taapsee isn’t the only Bollywood celebrity to have had bitter experiences with paparazzi. Recently, Tara Sutaria shoved a photographer’s camera after he appeared to get too close to her. The actor received support on social media for her reaction. I am the product of the media, but my relationship with the paparazzi is zero. Who are these people? Are they trained to be representing the people of this country? You call them media? I come from media! My father was a journalist. I have tremendous respect for such people.”
Addressing the issue, she said, “It is strange.
Last year, Jaya was asked about her relationship with paparazzi at the We The Women event.
