Confronting photographers at the event, he insisted that this practice must be stopped once and for all, noting that stars extend courtesy to the media and expect nothing less in return.In Hindi, he said, “Yeh badtameezi se backshot kaun leta hai tumlog me se? Kaun leta hai? Band karo (Who among you is taking these photographs so disrespectfully? Who is doing it? Stop it).” She continued, “Mera nahi karna hai. Kisi ka nahi karna hai. Bol bol kar thak gaye hain. Bag utha kar, book utha kar, backward walking karke. Yeh sab nahi chalega abhi. Band karo yeh sab. Humlog bahut izzat se karte hai aap login se baat. Mat karo (Don’t do this to anyone. We don’t get tired of saying this. Picking up bags and books, walking backwards, none of this will work anymore. We are talking to all of you with great respect”.
