Janhvi Kapoor feels paps are forced to listen to her after calling them out for taking ‘galat angle’ pics

Janhvi Kapoor is one of the busiest actresses in the current generation. The actress – who makes the headlines for both her personal and professional lives, is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Ulajh. During a promotional interview for the same, the actress was quizzed about the paparazzi culture and her views on it.

For the unversed, several actresses have schooled the paps for clicking their pictures from behind and zooming in unnecessarily. Janhvi was one of the first to speak about it and now she reveals how it has brought about changes. Read on.

Janhvi Kapoor on pap culture

During a recent interaction with Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, Janhvi Kapoor got candid about the current paparazzi culture. She said, “I think I said something while promoting Mahi, ‘Please galat angle se mat lena,’ and since then they have been like, ‘Nahi, nahi hum peeche se nahi lenge! Arre mudo mudo (No, we will not click from behind. Turn around)!’ Even if it is a demonstration, I really appreciate it.”

She continued, “They put like, ‘Guess who is this’ from the back shot, and that gets the maximum amount of clickbait. So of course they will pick on that, but I don’t think that justifies such decisions. I can say that I don’t like how I am being shown in this. I am not comfortable with people seeing this much of me that way. They are forced to listen to me because this is my decision and my choice.”

Adding that she wouldn’t have made such statements a couple of years back, Janhvi Kapoor said, “Aur maine bola bhi kaise (And how did I say that)… this is also a trope that I feel a lot of women use, that I have used a lot. That I don’t want to be putting off in my opinion. I want to bahur pyaar se, buddhu ban ke bas bolna chahti hoon (I want to state my point with love and casually) because that is more palatable.”
