Paparazzi culture has become an inevitable part of the entertainment industry, but with time, the downsides of the new trend have become more visible. In recent times, celebrities have been increasingly calling out paps for their intrusive behaviour, inappropriate comments or breach of privacy. While a section of paparazzi remains respectful with their work, several instances have taken place in the past few days where their conduct has become a cause of concern. Just a few days ago, Suyash Rai had called out the paps for inappropriately zooming in on Avneet Kaur in their video and now Gauahar Khan has become the latest celebrity to call them out.

Gauahar Khan asked paps not to shout and stun her son, Zehaan, as they posed together

A few months ago, Gauahar Khan attended the birthday party of Tusshar Kapoor's son Lakshya with her little son, Zehaan. She wore a white ruffled skater dress with a hairstyle in double Dutch braids. The actress wore minimal makeup while Zeehan looked charming in a white and blue checkered shirt with beige shorts. During the event, she engaged in a conversation with her paparazzi, but they shouted, which startled Gauahar's son. In turn, the actress had to repeatedly ask the paps to keep the tone of their voice down before her son.
