Ayesha Khan asks paparazzi not to click from behind

At the premiere of the Bejoy Nambiar film, Ayesha was posing for pictures as paparazzi asked her to turn to them. When one of the photographers said something, she stared at him and replied, “Aap izzat bhi khud kamayenge, aur khud hi gawayenge. Please mat kariye, acha nahi lagta (You will earn and lose respect by yourself. Please don’t do this, it doesn’t feel good). Please don’t do this.” She looked upset, and the other paparazzi could be heard asking the photographer to stop. Ayesha posed for pictures for a few seconds before heading in.

Other actors who gave similar warnings to paparazzi

Several Bollywood celebrities have in the past criticised the paparazzi for taking inappropriate pictures and warned them not to do the same. Janhvi Kapoor publicly addressed the photographers, asking them not to click her from behind or from ‘wrong angles’. She mentioned in interviews that they have stopped doing it since then. Mrunal Thakur also had a conversation with the paparazzi after her parents felt uncomfortable seeing pictures of her that were taken from behind.
