Kajol Bashes Paparazzi Culture, Calls Them ‘Disrespectful, Disturbing'
Last Updated: Kajol criticized paparazzi for invading personal space, especially at funerals and private moments. She finds it disturbing to be followed. Celebrities have often spoken out about how the paparazzi cross the line. Now, Kajol has also shared her own thoughts. In a recent interview, she opened up about how uncomfortable it feels when photographers don't respect personal space. When asked what she would change about the paparazzi culture, Kajol told Bollywood Hungama, 'I am a little conscious with paps. I think there are certain places where they shouldn't be. Like I find it very strange when they run after actors at someone's funeral and ask for photos. I find that odd and a little disrespectful. I find it strange that you cannot even go for lunch." She also spoke about how unsettling it is to be followed. 'They follow you for kilometres from Juhu to Bandra to look where I am going and which building I am going to. I find that disturbing. If I were a normal person, would you do that? Wouldn't I have taken you to the cops and said this person is following me? What should I tell the cops now?" she said. Kajol isn't the only one feeling this way. Alia Bhatt had earlier called out paps for taking photos of her while she was at home. Actor Rana Daggubati also had a run-in with photographers at the airport after one of them accidentally bumped into him. Meanwhile, Kajol is getting ready for her next film Maa, a horror drama directed by Vishal Furia and backed by Devgn Films. She plays the lead role, and the story follows a mother trying to protect her daughter from an evil curse in a haunted village. The film also stars Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. It's set to release in theatres on June 27. Kajol, the daughter of veteran actress Tanuja and filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee, stepped into the world of films with Bekhudi in 1992 while she was still in school. She later chose to leave her studies to pursue acting full-time. Her early successes came with hit films like Baazigar (1993) and Yeh Dillagi (1994). Kajol became one of the most popular stars of the 1990s thanks to iconic romantic films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), both of which also won her the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Apart from romance, she impressed critics with intense performances in Gupt: The Hidden Truth (1997), where she played a psychopathic killer, and Dushman (1998), where she took on the role of a woman seeking revenge.
