Days after Jaya Bachchan<\/a> stirred controversy with her sharp criticism of paparazzi culture, Huma Qureshi<\/a> has offered a more balanced perspective, acknowledging both the challenges and the importance of the paparazzi ecosystem. In a new interview, the actor admitted that while boundaries must be respected, celebrities, too, benefit from and often use paparazzi visibility to their advantage.<\/p>\n

\"While While advocating for respect and boundaries, Huma Qureshi emphasized her healthy rapport with photographers, contrasting Jaya Bachchan’s harsh criticism of the paparazzi’s professionalism and conduct. Huma talks about paparazzi<\/p>\n

Speaking to India Today<\/a>, Huma described her relationship with the paparazzi as very healthy, adding, \u201cI think they are also important. I won\u2019t lie, but we use them when we need to promote our films or bring a certain aspect of our lives into the public eye. There have been times when we needed to promote our films, so we invited them to premieres. When we want to be spotted somewhere, we call them. I don\u2019t want to put all the blame on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

She shared that over the years, her rapport with photographers has evolved. Whenever she isn\u2019t feeling her best or doesn\u2019t want to be clicked, she simply requests that they not take pictures, and they usually respect her wishes.<\/p>\n

However, Huma also highlighted issues that women in the industry commonly face, such as intrusive questions or inappropriate attempts to capture their outfits from uncomfortable angles. She pointed out that while a certain degree of intrusion is part of the ecosystem, respect and limits must be maintained. \u201cIf you want to intrude on my privacy, you will ask questions that I won\u2019t find appropriate\u2026 There\u2019s a limit people should not cross, but we do cross it. As a female actress, I have experienced all of this,\u201d she said, recalling an especially inappropriate question asked during a past press conference.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Barkha Dutt, Jaya said she shares \u201czero\u201d relationship with paparazzi despite having deep respect for traditional media. She questioned their training, conduct, and professionalism, saying, \u201cThose who wear cheap tight pants and hold a mobile in their hand think just because they have a phone, they can take your picture and say what they want\u2026 What kind of education, what background do they come from?\u201d<\/p>\n
