Janhvi Kapoor Reveals There Is A ‘Celebrity Ration Card’, Paparazzi Get Paid Per Photo Of Star

Janhvi Kapoor recently opened up about the paparazzi culture in tinsel town. In a new interview while promoting her film Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, the actress stated that the paparazzi get paid based on the photos they click.

In an interview with the Lallantop, Janhvi shared that there is a ‘celebrity ration card’. She added, “Jaise abhi film ka promotion chalra hai toh, unhe bulaya gaya tha airport. Meri tasveer khichne. Lekin jab film ki promotion nahi hori hai, jab shoot mein nahi jaari hoon, jab gayab hona chahti hoon, tab woh, agar woh extra effort longe, aur aisa kahi baar hua hai woh gaadi follow karte hai, kyunki har picture ka, har image ka unhe paise milte hai. Har celebrity ka ek ration card hota hai. Inki picture itne mein bikti hai. Agar aapka price ho, toh aphuch jaate hain, gaadi follow kar lete hai. Agar price itna high nahi hai, toh bulaya jaata hai.”

The Roohi actress was asked about celebrities who call the media personnel to spot them and then act surprised. The actress shared that it varies from celeb to celeb. She added that when she is promoting a film, the paps are invited. She further commented that often paps chase the car of a celebrity, as their picture has a certain value.

In the same interview, the Mili actress mentioned that for Mr and Mrs Mahi’s promotions, she has taken 25-30 flights, but the media has been able to spot her just 5-6 times only. She further disclosed that she has requested the paps to not click her outside the gym as she does not want to be snapped in “tight” gym clothes. She said, “Main nahi chahti hoon ke woh log mujhe gym ke tight tight kapdo mein dekhen. Aur jab woh photo aate the baahar to bolte the ke jaan boojh kar ye tight kapde pehan kar dikhna chah rahi hai. To usse acha mat kheencho, main to nahi bulati wahaan gym ke baahar. (I don’t want them to snap in tight gym clothes. When those pictures come out, they say that she loves to get herself clicked in tight-fitted clothes. So, they shouldn’t click me. I did not ask them to come outside my gym). She also added that she requested them politely and now they do not come.

On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor will be sharing the screen with Rajkummar Rao for Mr and Mrs Mahi which is slated to hit the theatres on May 31. She is also gearing up for her Telugu debut opposite Jr NTR in Devara.
