She tells us that unlike many female actors who have requested photographers not to shoot from the back, she embraces the attention.

The 41-year-old says she hasn’t yet found any videos of her which were objectionable or vulgar. “I have the confidence that if something ever comes out like that, I share the equation to tell the pap to take it down and they will. There is mutual respect,” she says, adding, “They are not bad people, they are just doing their jobs and putting out what the audience wants. Everybody wants to get viral, and I understand that.”

When asked about other female actors who object to such coverage, Jariwala responds, “They may not be happy and are voicing their opinion. To each his own.

Yes, if it is seems objectionable (to them), I am glad they voice it out. If the paps listen to them too, then it’s great. They usually do.”
