Bollywood actresses address invasive paparazzi culture in Mumbai

Indian film actresses Vedika Pinto and Janhvi Kapoor have voiced concerns regarding the increasing intensity of paparazzi attention and its impact on their privacy.

Vedika Pinto, following the success of her Netflix series ‘Musafir Cafe’, reported that photographers have begun tracking her personal routines, such as her specific gym timings in Juhu. She expressed surprise at the sudden shift from being unnoticed to having her private workout schedule monitored.

Janhvi Kapoor held a private meeting with celebrity photographers to address the continuous recording of her gym appearances. Kapoor noted that daily fitness photos often attract vulgar and inappropriate social media comments, creating uncomfortable environments for female artists. She emphasized that her professional obligation is to film movies rather than provide daily content for social media feeds. Following the discussion, photographers reportedly agreed to respect her boundaries and reduce unannounced coverage.
