Janhvi Kapoor says celebrity photos come at a price
When asked about her opinion on the paparazzi culture, Janhvi opined, “Like now, when I am promoting Mahi and Mrs, they call me at the airport to take my photographs. But when I am not promoting the film, when I am not shooting, when I want to disappear, if they want to go the extra mile, and this has happened many times, they will follow the car, because they get paid for each photograph, each image.”
She added: “All celebrities have ration cards. Their pictures sell for a very high price. If the price is high, they approach you and tail your car. If the price is not so high, they call the paparazzi.”
