The incident occurred on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, as Kapoor arrived for a shoot of the upcoming season of India’s Best Dancer. While the actress initially cooperated with the gathered photographers by posing for "shutterbugs," she addressed the group directly as she began to walk away.

The remark was seen by many as a preemptive move to prevent the kind of invasive, low-angle, or close-up shots that have recently drawn criticism from several female actors in the industry.
Rising Tensions Over Candid Photography
Kapoor’s warning follows a growing trend of Bollywood celebrities voicing discomfort over paparazzi tactics. In recent months, actors like Shruti Haasan and Alia Bhatt have also criticised the media for capturing footage from inappropriate angles or using high-magnification lenses to compromise their personal space.
The video sparked an immediate wave of support online. On platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), fans commended Kapoor for setting clear boundaries. "The fact that grown individuals need to be told this is disappointing," wrote one user, while others highlighted the persistent issue of "voyeuristic" camera angles that often plague female celebrities during public appearances.

She is currently serving as a judge for the fifth season of India’s Best Dancer, alongside Geeta Kapur, Terence Lewis, and Jaaved Jaaferi. The show is scheduled to premiere on May 9, 2026.
