Mumbai: Haven’t you ever wondered how come the paparazzi reach wherever the stars are? Whether they are grieving, celebrating, jogging, gymming or flying out of the city, the photographers seem to know of their every moment! How can they follow so many stars at the same time at different locations?
Does a little bird perch on their shoulders and tell them?
Well, filmmaker Rohit Shetty has spilled the beans. If he is to be believed, celebrities themselves invite the paparazzi to cover them doing acts of charity outside temples, going to the airport and the gym.
During an appearance on Social Media Star With Janice, Rohit commented on the ‘trend’ of celebrities getting clicked outside temples, making donations to the needy. “Kaun karta hai aisa? Phone karenge tabhi maalum padega na, photographer ko, ki ‘bhai, main aaj yeh mandir ke bahar hai’. Kaise maalum padega (Who does this? Only if you call and inform the photographers will they know that you are going to the temple. How else will they know)?” he asked.
On the subject of airport looks, Rohit said that everyone would earlier dress casually while catching flights. “Ab uska kharcha alag ho gaya hai. Varna jab tak yeh photographers wahaan pohoche nahi the ya log bolte nahi the ki main utar raha hoon plane se, tab tak toh sab chaddi-banyan mein hi jaa rahe the (Now, there is a whole expense behind airport looks. Before photographers reached there and before people began informing them about their schedules, everyone would go in shorts and vests).” He also spoke dismissively of ‘gym looks’.
Rohit is currently seen as the host of Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 on Colors. The ongoing season was shot in South Africa’s Cape Town a few months ago.
