This is called the paparazzi culture, which has become deeply ingrained in the industry. Recently, Janhvi Kapoor talked about the paps culture while promoting for her upcoming film Mr and Mrs Mahi.
Janhvi Kapoor on paparazzi culture
She is leaving no stone unturned in promoting the much-awaited films with Rajkummar Rao. During an interview with Lallantop, Janhvi opened up about paparazzi culture. She said, “Jaise abhi film ka promotion chalra hai toh, unhe bulaya gaya tha airport. Meri tasveer khichne. Lekin jab film ki promotion nahi hori hai, jab shoot mein nahi jaari hoon, jab gayab hona chahti hoon, tab woh, agar woh extra effort longe, aur aisa kahi baar hua hai woh gaadi follow karte hai, kyunki har picture ka, har image ka unhe paise milte hai. Har celebrity ka ek ration card hota hai. Inki picture itne mein bikti hai. Agar aapka price ho, toh aphuch jaate hain, gaadi follow kar lete hai. Agar price itna high nahi hai, toh bulaya jaata hai.”
(There is a ‘celebrity ration card.’ … every image of a celebrity has a price.”)
The actress revealed that she’s taken 25–30 flights to promote Mr and Mrs Mahi, but the media has only seen her 5–6 times. She also mentioned asking the paparazzi not to take photos of her outside the gym because she feels uncomfortable being clicked in ‘tight’ gym clothes.
“Main nahi chahti hoon ke woh log mujhe gym ke tight kapdo mein dekhen. Aur jab woh photo aate the baahar to bolte the ke jaan boojh kar ye tight kapde pehan kar dikhna chah rahi hai. To usse acha mat kheencho, main to nahi bulati wahaan gym ke baahar. (I don’t want them to snap in tight gym clothes. When those pictures come out, they say that she loves to get herself clicked in tight-fitted clothes. So, they shouldn’t click me. I did not ask them to come outside my gym).” she concluded.
