Mumbai: Bollywood’s evergreen actress Karisma Kapoor is known for her grace and elegance, but recently one of her videos has started a serious discussion on social media about ‘celebrity privacy’. On the sets of ‘India’s Best Dancer Season 5’, Karisma expressed her discomfort regarding the camera angle and zooming by the paparazzi, which is now viral on the internet. What happened on the set? During the shooting of the reality show starting from May 9, Karisma was posing for the media outside the set. During this, Karisma immediately reacted when some photographers brought the camera too close and zoomed inappropriately. With folded hands and maintaining a smile, she said very politely, “Don’t zoom too much.” This short sentence of Karisma reminds of the countless incidents where paparazzi often cross the limits of personal space and dignity of celebrities in the pursuit of better footage. Got support from fans on social media. As soon as this video went viral, netizens praised Karisma Kapoor’s stand. Users on social media said the fact that a senior actress had to make such a request is proof of the deteriorating professional behavior of the paparazzi.
