Akshay Kumar on Paparazzi: “Photographer Ka Kaam Hai, Humein Click Hone Mein Koi Pareshani Nahi”
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar recently shared his views on paparazzi and their earnings. Celebrities often respond differently to the paparazzi culture some prefer keeping their distance, while others accept it as a part of life in the spotlight. Akki explained that he doesn’t mind being photographed in public.
In an interview with India Today, Akki said, “Ek photographer ko kariban 3.5-4k milte hain. Aur agar usko milte hain, toh mere liye kya problem honi chahiye? Meri sherwani mein kya pareshaani honi chahiye ki main khada ho ke photo le lu?” He meant that if a photographer earns around Rs 3,500-4,000 for clicking his photo, what’s the issue for him simply standing there in his sherwani and letting them take a picture?
He further added, “Main photo leke, uss bichare ka ghar chal jayega, woh khush ho jayega, aur saari photo le jayega, toh isme koi burai nahi hai. Privacy kya naam ki? Agar aap bahar nikal gaye ho bacchon aur biwi ke saath, toh kis baat ki privacy?” According to Akki, giving photos helps the photographer earn a living, and there’s no harm in it. If you’re out in public with your family, what privacy is there to worry about?
Akki’s remarks reflect a practical approach toward fame and the ecosystem surrounding celebrity culture.
Work Front:
On the professional front, Akki will reunite with filmmaker Priyadarshan for the horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, starring Rajpal Yadav, Paresh Rawal, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Tabu. He also has Welcome to the Jungle and Golmaal 5 in the pipeline.
Akki’s perspective not only highlights his stance on paparazzi culture but also shows how a superstar balances public exposure with his professional life.
