Celebrities are often photographed by paparazzi at airports and restaurants in Mumbai, and their reactions to photographers vary widely. While some stars happily pose, others prefer to keep their distance. Now, paparazzo Snehkumar Zala has shared his experiences of interacting with several celebrities, including Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma and Taapsee Pannu.
On Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Speaking to Hindi Rush, Snehkumar recalled that Abhishek and Aishwarya are usually polite and often pose when they are together with their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan.“All three of them – Abhishek, Aishwarya and Aaradhya – smile and pose for us. Abhishek sir sometimes says no to photos when he is travelling alone but they never refuse for photographs when they are together,” he said.He also shared an early lesson he learned while covering the couple. “Once, when I was new in the business, I spotted Abhishek and Aishwarya at the airport, and I called Aishwarya ‘Aish’. At that time, Abhishek gave me a look, and I understood that I should not call her ‘Aish’.”
On Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma
The paparazzo also spoke about photographing Virat and Anushka, who are known to be protective about their children, including their son Akaay Kohli.“Virat and Anushka are friendly with us. We know how they will pose for photographs. They come, put their children in the car, and then pose for photos,” he said.Recalling one particular moment, he added, “Once, when they were travelling, Anushka was holding Akaay and Virat told us only to click him and not them. At that moment, photographers started behaving like fans and asked to get a photo with Virat. At that time, they should’ve let him go because his wife and kids were waiting.”
On Taapsee Pannu
However, Snehkumar admitted that he finds Taapsee Pannu less approachable compared to some other celebrities.“Celebrities are not rude. They just ask us to not click photos sometimes — that’s all. But I find Taapsee Pannu rude. If you don’t want to be clicked, say no to paparazzi, that’s all,” he said.“I don’t want to say anything negative about her, but she is a little rude, and she says no, and she just says anything to the paparazzi. I have just clicked her one–two times, but I have seen many of her clips in which she speaks rudely to the photographers, and I don’t like clicking her. I enjoy clicking other actors, but not her,” he added.
