There are many who would spend a fortune to get their pictures published. In fact I feel I am lucky they click my pictures. Unfazed by the number of paps hounding her at every public appearance, she says, “It’s their love for me. It's a price that all of us have to pay.” She says, “This is the way of our chosen life. They came into the balcony around 9 am when I had clicked that picture.” Raveena Tandon agrees that with the paparazzi lurking around at all times, there is no such thing as privacy in a celeb's life. I stood there for a picture till 11 pm that night. Anushka didn’t like it and requested not to invade their privacy. Shelar recalls the incident, “When Anushka and Virat had come to reside in their flat, I had shot a picture the same night. Guys! Stop this right now!,” a furious Anushka wrote. “Despite requesting the said photographer and the publication, they still continue to invade our privacy. Earlier last year Anushka had called out Raju Shelar for clicking their picture in their balcony. After this, how can they expect the pictures to not be circulated?” reasons Varinder Chawla. It was telecast on international channels. She should have known better there would be cameras on her. And then we see she is coming out in the stands carrying the baby. Anushka and Virat asked us not to click her pictures. “We don’t understand the Vamika incident. But Vamika’s pictures made their way to the internet after Anushka was recently spotted with her while she cheered for Virat from the stands. When Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli embraced parenthood after the birth of daughter Vamika, they sent a letter requesting paps to not click Vamika’s pictures. Privacy, please! Paps are often called out for invading the privacy of celebs. But why ask her to remove a mask for a picture? It is a safety hazard in these COVID times.” For example, in a recent video, Kajol was seen getting upset with paps. If a celebrity talks rudely, it could be for a reason. Yogen Shah begs to differ as he says, “Celebrities have not usually been rash with us. Photographers called out to Aishwarya to pose for them but instead they got a tongue-lashing from Jaya who turned around and thundered, “Kya Aishwarya Aishwarya bula rahe ho, tumhare class mein padhti thi kya? (Why are you calling her Aishwarya? Was she your classmate?)” The photographers were taken aback, while Aishwarya maintained a poker face throughout the episode. In 2013, at Subhash Ghai’s party, she snapped at the lensmen who addressed daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Aishwarya. So they behave well.” Veteran actress Jaya Bachchan is known for her not so pleasant brushes with the paps. So if they give us inappropriate content, they will get negative publicity. And there are about 3-4 established paps who are promoting and selling content on social media. Even they realise that social media is the biggest publicity platform. SRK was quite upset about it.”Ĭhawla recalls the incident and says, “It’s not like that anymore. We brought out the costume pictures that the film team was guarding. I jumped a broken wall, went inside and clicked pictures that created quite an issue. “Shah Rukh Khan was shooting a song for ‘Happy New Year’ in Kamalistan Studios. I paid a fine of Rs 1500 because we cannot enter Filmcity without permission or an invite.” Shelar shares how they sometimes go out of the way for an exclusive shot. We were hiding in the bushes to click pictures of Varun Dhawan, I managed to escape but Gurujeet was caught and was detained for 4-5 hours. This one time they had caught hold of my aide Gurujeet Singh. They clicked my picture, they also took a picture of my car although they were polite all the time. They grilled me for upto two hours about how I entered the place without permission. But I couldn’t manage to click his picture as I was caught by the CISF. “I went to click John Abraham who was shooting in Filmcity. I ran towards the back door and managed to click them together.” Wairkar recalls an assignment that got him detained by the CISF. “I stood far away, but the moment they realised there was a pap, they left from the back door. Shelar narrates how he had first captured Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff together outside a Bandra restaurant. He asked me to leave, but I hid around and still managed to click another picture,” he shares. The next time I was around him, his bouncer recognised me and started arguing how I clicked his picture without permission. I can recall one such recent incident when I had captured Kartik Aaryan’s look from ‘Freddy’. “At times, we are caught hold of by the bouncers while clicking pictures. He knows his job well and also to brave the challenges that come along. Photojournalist Nilesh Wairkar has been capturing exclusive shots from the film sets for over two decades now.
