Janhvi on paparazzi culture

When asked about her views on the paparazzi culture which have seen an intense rise in the past few years, Kapoor got candid and spilt some inside beans. She said, “Like right now, Mr and Mrs Mahi's promotion is going on; they are called to the airport to click my picture. But when the film's promotion is not happening, when I am not going for shoots, when I want to disappear, then, if they want to put in extra effort, and this has happened many times, they follow the car because they get paid for every picture, every image.”

She further added, “Every celebrity has a ration card. Their pictures sell for so much. If your price is high, they reach you, follow your car. If the price is not that high, you call paparazzi.”
