Recently, cricketer Virat Kohli was seen angry, when he was with his children at the airport in Australia. Kohli felt that his pictures were being taken without permission. He issued a stern warning to the paparazzi. Kohli said it was a violation of his family's privacy. He was very disturbed by this situation. Not only Virat-Anushka but there are many Bollywood stars who have appealed to the media to maintain the privacy of their children.
This includes the names of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Recently the couple met some senior photographers/paparazzi and requested them not to click pictures of their daughter Dua.
Deepika Padukone – Ranveer Singh During a conversation with Frontpage Insights, senior photographer Manav Mangalani said, 'Yes, it's true that now Deepika-Ranveer don't want us to take pictures of their daughter. He said that his daughter is very young and when she is ready, he will come forward and take the picture himself. Refused to take photos till then. Even if the photo is taken, put an emoji on it and post it on your social media. He appealed to maintain his privacy and we agreed to his request. Look, we respect celebrities' privacy too. Obviously, if they are already begging us, why would we go against them?
Many celebrities support us and we support them in return,” Manav continued. Many celebrities choose not to have their children photographed and we respect that. Kareena-Saif have no problem with the pictures taken by the paparazzi. However, they believe it is important to respect their children's privacy, especially when they are alone, such as walking to and from school or when accompanied by a caretaker at the playground. I completely agree with this point of view. Overall, it is important to maintain mutual respect and camaraderie in this industry.
About Virat's recent reaction, Manav said, 'People there are often interested in taking such pictures, it's a cover story for them. Many journalists out there get paid only for such exclusive pictures. Their work profile is similar.
Ranbir Kapoor- Alia Bhatt Let us tell you that last year Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt also had a special meeting with the paparazzi to prevent them from taking pictures of their daughter. She requested that her daughter not be photographed until she was two months old.
On the occasion of Christmas 2023, Ranbir and Alia revealed the face of their 1-year-old daughter Raha Kapoor. Until now, Raha's face was hidden from the media. This step was in accordance with the rules laid down by him.
Rani Mukherjee – Aditya Chopra However, Rani Mukherjee is also very strict on this matter. A few years ago, Rani removed her daughter's pictures from a major media publication portal.
Rani Mukherjee and her husband Aditya Chopra always protect their little daughter Adira from the paparazzi, said a photographer (on condition of anonymity). Adira's pictures are rarely seen in public places. Rani specifically requests the paparazzi not to take pictures of her daughter and the paparazzi accede to her request.
A few years ago, a picture of his daughter was published by a major media publication. When Rani felt that her privacy had been violated, she asked her team to remove the photo from the portal within an hour.
Shahid Kapoor – Mira Kapoor Shahid and Mira Kapoor have repeatedly said that they are very strict about their children's privacy. On January 3, 2023, Shahid and Mira returned from a family vacation with their children Zain and Misha. As soon as he reached the Mumbai airport, he was surrounded by paparazzi. Seeing the camera flash on the kids, Shahid got angry and asked the paparazzi, 'Why are you taking the video? Why are you taking it?'. Meera had warned the paparazzi earlier too.
Virat Kohli – Anushka Sharma During the India vs South Africa match in Cape Town in January 2020, all cameras were on Anushka Sharma and her daughter Wamika. Later, Anushka said that she suddenly came in front of the camera and she had no idea about it. An official broadcaster showed Anushka holding Wamika on her lap and cheering for Team India. Anushka expressed her concern on Instagram and Virat also shared the same thing on his story.
In May 2021, Virat stated in an Instagram Q&A session that he and Anushka have decided not to share Wamika's pictures and videos on social media, as they want their daughter to understand social media and make her own choices.
