Bollywood celebrities often interact with the media at big and small events. However, some choose to maintain a more low-profile approach and Taapsee Pannu is one such celebrity who has been known to have a strained relationship with the paps.
She has been involved in several viral incidents where confronted paparazzi. Once again, her recent statement has sparked controversy and drawn attention.Tapsee Pannu will soon be seen in Akshay Kumar's film Khiladi. Two songs from the movie have already been released.
Recently, Taapsee spoke to Fever FM where she openly discussed her frustration with paparazzi. She mentioned how they misuse her statements and videos for their commercial gains. Taapsee pointed out how the paparazzi tend to exaggerate negative news to attract more clicks and views. She said, "Click kaise karoge tum? Mujhe batao achhi baaton pe kaun click karta? Mujhe batao tumne last news kaun si achhi pe click kar dia ho? Ab ye wali news zyada sensational hai. (How will you click on the news then? Tell me who clicks on positive news? When was the last time you clicked on a positive news? Now, this kind of news is more sensational). ‘She’s being nasty and rude to paparazzi' so everyone is like, ‘Kya ho gaya, kya ho gaya, dekhna padega’ (what happened? let's see). So that is more exciting for an audience."
She added, "Mujhe ye cheezein picturein laa ke nahi de rahi (These things aren't fetching me films). My films speak for themselves. So I don't have to appease a section of so-called media, I don't even call them direct media because they're serving their vested interest ki koi humare portal par click kar de bas (that someone just clicks on their portal). I don't call them media. Media is not supposed to desperately put out lines or videos jiss pe bas click karna pade (that are clickbait)."
Taapsee also addressed feeling pressured to apologize for her public status and privilege. She emphasized that, like any other woman, she deserves respect for her privacy and personal boundaries. She is currently taking a break in Paris, where she is supporting her husband, Mathias Boe, who is coaching India's men's badminton doubles team at the Paris Olympics.
On the work front, she will soon be seen in Haseen Dillruba 2 and Khiladi.
