Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Taapsee Pannu are rarely spotted by paps
(Web Desk) - Many stars are photographed or taped at various places, including airports, events, and on the street.
Most famous faces reside in the Bandra area of Mumbai, making the suburb a popular place to spot popular people.
However, a group of paparazzi recently named the Bollywood celebrities they thought were harder to spot than others.
One photographer commented: “These days, Shah Rukh Khan is nearly impossible to shoot.
“He has mastered the art of staying out of sight.”
Another said: “Salman Khan is always surrounded by security, making it difficult to get a clear shot.”
The reporters also mentioned Taapsee Pannu as a famous name who preferred to keep a low profile.
They said: “She’s not easy to spot.”
In January 2025, Grazia interviewed a group of Indian paparazzi about Bollywood celebrities.
In the short Instagram clip, two reporters named Manav Manglani and Varinder Chawla were seen with their photographers.
When asked where was most common to spot the celebrities, the reporters said:
“I think it is the airport. Most of the breaking stories happen at the airport.
“Bandra has a lot of restaurants [where you can see celebrities].
“If you look at the number of spotting, it’s usually the airport.
“Because there are more chances of celebrities being there.”
The photographers also revealed any memorable yet bizarre moments they encountered involving Bollywood celebrities.
One of them reminisced: “Saif Ali Khan asked me once, ‘Who are you? Whom do you work for?'”
Another said: “I think there was a party at Karan Johar’s place once.
“I don’t remember if it was Sara Ali Khan or Janhvi Kapoor, but one of them hid in the back of a car.”
Bollywood celebrities have made no secret of their disdain towards paparazzi.
In July 2024, Taapsee Pannu explained why she did not believe in appeasing photographers and reporters.
She said: “These things aren’t fetching me films. My films speak for themselves.”
“So I don’t have to appease a section of so-called media.
“I don’t even call them direct media because they’re serving their vested interest that someone just clicks on their portal.
“I don’t call them media. Media is not supposed to desperately put out lines or videos that are clickbait.”
