Actress Kajol, who will soon be seen in the mythological horror film Maa, produced by husband Ajay Devgn, recently took a strong stance against the paparazzi culture, calling it 'odd and a little disrespectful.' She expressed her discomfort with paps running after celebrities during funerals to take pictures.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kajol said, "I am a little conscious with paps. I think there are certain places where they shouldn’t be. Like I find it very strange when they run after actors at someone’s funeral and ask for photos. I find that odd and a little disrespectful. I find it strange that you cannot even go for lunch."
She added, "They are following you for kilometres from Juhu to Bandra to look where I am going and which building I am going to. I find that disturbing. If I were a normal person, would you do that? Wouldn’t I have taken you to the cops and said this person is following me? What should I tell the cops now?"
