Taapsee Pannu has opened up about the invasion of her privacy that happens because of the paparazzi. The actor has said that people may call her arrogant if that is how they label people for seeking ‘human beings’ breathing space’. Pannu is often seen schooling the paparazzi and asking the camerapersons to respect her boundaries and privacy, in videos that go viral.  

“It does bother me because, after a point, I realised that they are doing it knowing they are going to irk me. Why will you hold my car’s door when I have gotten in? This is intruding on my private space. Imagine if you are getting into your car and some people have held the car door and not letting you shut the door and shoving the camera in your face, will you like it? Any person, regardless of being a girl or boy, would you like it?” Pannu told India Today while talking about the paparazzi following her.

She added, “I walk without bodyguards. Just because of that, you have the liberty to shove your cameras and mike into me, physically, and not give me a regular human being’s breathing space just because I’m a public figure. It gives you the liberty to violate my personal space. And then, obviously, the icing on the cake becomes when the media make headlines that I’m arrogant. If I’m arrogant to ask for basic human respect of space, then please call me arrogant, but I will not just try to sugar-coat and be this good girl because I’m in front of camera.”
