It’s hard to say which side of the camera is more aggressive these days — the paparazzi or the stars. Just this week, Katrina’s driver ran over a photographer’s foot, in a bid to make a hasty exit out of producer Aarti Shetty’s home. Earlier, the actress had threatened to call the cops if the paparazzi didn’t leave her alone.
Only last week, two of Bollywood’s decorous men — Arbaaz Khan and Hrithik Roshan — lost their cool with the media. Arbaaz, who has been avoiding the media like the plague since his troubled marriage made headlines last month, shot back at a journalist’s harmless question about turning uncle again. It was with reference to his baby sister Arpita Khan’s newborn. Breaking away from his ‘no personal questions please’ chant, he snapped, “In our house we are happy when babies are born. I don’t know about your house.”
Hrithik went many steps further, when he confiscated a photographer’s camera from his film set and kept it with him for an entire day. The latter had to go to his house and wait around for five hours before threatening to call the cops for the star to concede.
We’d just like to say that the photographers were doing their jobs as much as the actors were, when they were shooting or walking out of a party. So could we please go about our own business
