Palak Tiwari is set to make her Hindi film debut with Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan but she is no stranger to getting clicked by paparazzi. Palak first gained fame after she appeared in Harrdy Sandhu’s music video Bijlee Bijlee, and even before that, thanks to her social media, she was often clicked by photographers. In a recent chat, Palak said that people often complain about paparazzi but don’t acknowledge how the photographers help them in staying relevant.

Palak, in a chat with Siddharth Kannan, said, “I don’t see a lot of people speaking about and acknowledging how much paps (paparazzi) do for us. Everybody goes and complains about paps and I understand that. I completely get that but also you need them, they make you relevant.” In the past, many stars like Jaya Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu have had some rough interactions with photographers.

She added that celebrities thank the paparazzi after getting clicked because they are thanking them for still clicking them. “I will never complain about paps, I will never say that I am getting papped too much because they make us who we are. I am very thankful. That’s why everybody says thank you after getting papped because (they mean) ‘thank you, that you still click me, thank you for your time,’” she added. Palak said that photographers also give a “great ego boost” when they are clicking the celebrity. “You get a great ego boost when you meet pap guys,” she said.

Recently, Taapsee Pannu had opened up about the invasion of privacy by the paparazzi. She told India Today, “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 my private space. Imagine if you are getting into your car and there are people who 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?”
