Huma Qureshi on Paparazzi Debate After Jaya Bachchan Row
The ongoing debate around paparazzi culture gained fresh perspective after Jaya Bachchan’s strong remarks about photographers, with actor Huma Qureshi offering a more nuanced viewpoint. While acknowledging the excesses of the system, Huma also highlighted how celebrities themselves are active participants in the same ecosystem.
In a recent interaction, Huma spoke candidly about her equation with the paparazzi, describing it as largely cordial and practical. She admitted that visibility often becomes a professional necessity in the entertainment industry. According to her, actors do rely on photographers during film promotions or public appearances, and it would be dishonest to deny that mutual dependence exists. She pointed out that celebrities frequently inform photographers about events they want coverage for, adding that responsibility cannot rest on one side alone. – Huma Qureshi on Paparazzi Debate After Jaya Bachchan Row
However, Huma did not shy away from addressing the problematic aspects of paparazzi culture, particularly when it comes to personal boundaries. She explained that invasive questions, uncomfortable framing, and unnecessary scrutiny are experiences many actors—especially women—have faced. While public attention is part of the job, she stressed that there should be a clear line between professional coverage and personal intrusion, a line that is often crossed.
Her comments come in the wake of Jaya Bachchan’s recent statement during a conversation with Barkha Dutt, where the veteran actor said she maintains no relationship with paparazzi and expressed greater respect for traditional media. Her remarks about mobile-phone photographers and their conduct sparked widespread discussion online.
On the professional front, Huma Qureshi continues to stay busy with impactful projects. She was recently seen in the latest season of the political drama Maharani and also appeared in the third season of the acclaimed crime series Delhi Crime, reinforcing her strong presence in the digital space.
