Actors and paparazzi share a love-hate relationship. Paps often click photos and record celebrities after getting a tip-off from their managers or the celebs themselves. There are times when paps also interact with celebrities, and the actors, in return, also talk to them. However, there are times when paps get too comfortable, cross the line, and say or do something that doesn't go down well with actors, be it taking back shots or making inappropriate comments.
Weeks after Neha Dhupia slammed the paparazzi for taking back shots, Zareen Khan found herself in a similar situation. On Monday, the actress stepped out in Mumbai to attend the launch of a clothing brand, where she posed for the paparazzi while showcasing the brand's collection, including a denim jacket and a dress.
However, Zareen got angry after one of the photographers made an inappropriate comment. As the paparazzi surrounded her, one photographer asked her to "try the dress" in front of them. The remark did not go down well with her.
Zareen was clearly irked by the statement and snapped back, "Tum logon ke saamne? Woh nahi ho raha (In front of everyone? That's not happening)."
She then told the photographers to stay within their limits.
"Faltugiri ki baatein nahi karna mere saath, because I am not the one who is gonna take that sh*t, okay? Hadd mein rehna, sab ke sab. (Don't talk such nonsense with me because I'm not someone who's going to tolerate that, okay? Stay within your limits—all of you)," She added.
The video quickly went viral on social media. While many users sided with Zareen Khan and praised her for calling out the inappropriate remark, others felt she had overreacted. They argued that the paparazzi only meant she should try the outfit since it was a clothing brand launch and were not asking her to remove her clothes or making a demeaning comment.
Work Front
Zareen Khan made her Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in the 2010 film Veer. Although the film failed to make a mark at the box office, Zareen grabbed attention and was often compared to Katrina Kaif. She later featured alongside Salman once again in the hit song Character Dheela from Ready (2011).
Over the years, Zareen went on to star in films like Housefull 2, the Punjabi film Jatt James Bond, Hate Story 3, Aksar 2 and 1921, among others. However, she has been away from the big screen for quite some time. She was last seen in Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele, which premiered on JioHotstar in 2021. The film also starred Anshuman Jha in the lead, along with Ravi Khanvilkar, Gurfateh Pirzada and Nitin Sharma in supporting roles.
