Celebrity spotting videos often spark chatter on social media. Recently, Bipasha Basu found herself at the centre of a similar discussion after a video of her asking photographers to make way was shared online, with claims that she got angry. The actress has now clarified her reaction.
Recently, the actress was seen outside a studio in Mumbai and was surprised to see paparazzi there. Seeing the paparazzi, Bipasha asked them to make way for her. However, a social media page claimed she got angry at the paps. The actress has now shared a statement and clarified her reaction.
Sharing the video on her Instagram Stories, Bipasha wrote, "Please tell me what is this background music? Someone is going to work and likes to be on time, but just because we question your presence doesn't mean I am angry. You choose to ignore my thank you at the end conveniently. Anyways, I have no issues with paps ever. Most of them are very respectful towards me always."
A few months back, in a conversation with Elle, Bipasha spoke about embracing motherhood and opened up about the standards for women's bodies and how they become topics for discussion on social media. "I went through major, major trolling. A few insensitive paps took really bizarre pictures of me. They don't see how much effort the woman must be putting in, how much they have to do with a baby, with their life, with their lifestyle and also their personal pressures. Nobody really cares. Everybody expects you to bounce back."
Workwise, Bipasha is set to return to the screen with Hansal Mehta's crime thriller Barabanki. Sources reveal the actor began shooting for the series in Mumbai last month. Adapted from The Barabanki Narcos: Busting India's Most Notorious Drug Cartel, written by retired Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Aloke Lal, the crime thriller is set in 1984. It tells the inspiring story of how Lal led a massive opium raid operation in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki district. It also stars Sunny Kaushal and Vishal Jethwa.
She has been on a sabbatical after welcoming her daughter, Devi, in 2022.
