Kajol reacts to being compared to Jaya Bachchan over paparazzi videos, says 'they coax you, they push you'

Kajol

Bollywood actress Kajol has finally responded to being called scary and compared to Jaya Bachchan when it comes to paparazzi.

The actress, who is gearing up for her new horror film 'Maa', said that the photographers "coax you, push you" to say something.

"It's okay if you believe that I'm scary, please go watch Maa...I think right now it's all about really the videos; even the paparazzi, for that matter. They're waiting for you to say something. They coax you, they push you, till you have to! Not scream back at them, but at least say, 'Listen, guys, calm down.' You know, you don't need to yell and scream to get a good picture," said Kajol.

Kajol, who has been busy with the promotions, said that the paparazzi want a reaction to "attach some sort of a negative tagline."

"It's not about just clicking a picture or just clicking a video anymore. It's about a reaction that they want because it has a tagline attached to it, or they can attach some sort of a negative tagline", added Kajol.

Many celebs especially Jaya Bachchan, Kajol and Alia Bhatt, have often criticised the pap culture. Recently Rana Daggubati had also called out the pap culture in Bollywood and he said: "I didn’t call them. I don’t like it. I don’t like them in my personal space, and I have been very vocal about it. They come outside my home, which I have respectfully told them [not to do]. And even at airports, they still turn up. I think it’s pretty annoying."

Earlier while speaking with Bollywood Hungama, Kajol had said that there are certain places where the paps shouldn't be. “I am a little conscious with paps. I think there are certain places where they shouldn’t be. Like I find it very strange when they run after actors at someone’s funeral and ask for photos. I find that odd and a little disrespectful. I find it strange that you cannot even go for lunch," she told the website.

Kajol will next be seen in Maa, which is directed by Vishal Furia.

The film is the story of a mother’s determination to protect her daughter from the demonic curses of a haunted village.

The film also stars Ronit Roy, Indranil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma in key roles. It is going to release in theatres on June 27.
