Taapsee Pannu on comparison with Jaya Bachchan over dealing with paparazzi: ‘It’s a compliment’

Taapsee Pannu recently discussed her relationship with paparazzi in a chat with News18. She sees comparisons between herself and Jaya Bachchan as a compliment, stating that Jaya shares a feisty relationship with the paparazzi, similar to her own. Taapsee emphasized that she doesn't abuse anybody and maintains clear boundaries, which she believes makes her intimidating to the photographers who shout her name.

She admitted to being shouted at by the photographers, but stated she doesn't respond in kind. When asked about feeling angry, Taapsee revealed that she shuts down and becomes quiet when truly upset, rather than engaging with angry individuals. She also mentioned that her reactions are often misused by paparazzi pages as clickbait, with captions highlighting her as angry to attract more views.

Taapsee expressed her appreciation for the impact her reactions have on the paparazzi's engagement and shared her disagreement with Jaya Bachchan's zero-respect stance towards the modern paparazzi, stating that she deeply respects traditional journalism but finds the current paparazzi conduct disrespectful.
