From Dharmendra to Alia Bhatt: How Bollywood’s Private Lives Are Often Invaded, And What That Says About Us

From calling paparazzi and acting surprised when they show up, to them invading the private lives of B-town celebs, we have come a long way. The Papaprazzi culture has been around for many years and has gotten more widespread and quicker over the years. While most celebrities love to chat and pose for the paps, they do not appreciate it when they invade their privacy. In a recent viral reel, we can see the paparazzi trying to get an exclusive clip of the veteran actor Dharmendra. There have been many such instances where paps have crossed the line and recorded celebrities without their permission. Let’s take a dive to find out how many Bollywood celebrities’ private lives have been invaded by paparazzi here!

Bollywood Celebrities Whose Private Lives Were Invaded By Paparazzi

With the new movement of the paparazzi culture we see today, they post 24/7 about celebrities and their lives. 

Dharmendra

In the viral clip of Dharmendra’s house going viral, we can see the paps trying to sneak in new videos of the Deol family. We can see Dharmendra’s son, actor Sunny Deol, being visibly upset by the paparazzi’s behaviour and asking them to give the family some privacy.

Alia Bhatt

Actress Alia Bhatt came forward to talk about how paps were leaking videos of their new house, which is still under construction. Alia continued her statement, saying how this was not the first time her privacy had been invaded. Back in 2023, paps had come to the neighbouring building and clicked her pictures without her consent while she was relaxing at home.

What Does Paparazzi’s Invasion Of Celebrities’ Privacy Say About Us?

Most Bollywood celebrities live lives constantly in the public eye. The paparazzi deliver constant news and clips of these celebrities day and night, sparing no detail for one to ponder upon. While there are strict laws set for the paparazzi in the US, there are no such rules in India. Since there is a lack of such rules, paparazzi also regularly cross boundaries. I believe 

The invasion of privacy is a widespread concern, but these breaches say a lot about audiences and netizens, too.

The virality of the videos and clips holds up a mirror to us, the audience. It reveals how voyeurism is built into us, and we expect celebrities or those in the public eye to never keep anything private – we feel the need to know. From grief to medical emergencies to pregnant mothers, nobody is exempt from this. While the paparazzi may be crossing a line, it’s we, the audience, who egg them on. We continue to consume and enjoy the content, which is why they continue to deliver.
