Ranbir Kapoor gets angry at paps

On Tuesday, he and Alia stepped out in Mumbai to attend a special screening of Daadi Ki Shaadi. Ranbir wore a muted teal polo shirt with loose, light beige trousers, while Alia opted for an all-black ensemble featuring a structured shirt and wide-legged pants.

While making their way to the Excel Entertainment office for the screening, Ranbir is seen losing his cool as photographers crowd around them, trying to capture pictures. He momentarily snapped, asking the paparazzi to step back. He then checked if they wanted proper photos and requested space. "Aap logon ko photo chahiye… chalo," Ranbir is heard saying. The couple later happily posed for them.

As the video went viral, netizens supported the actor. One comment read, "The paparazzi need to maintain a certain distance from celebrities… you cannot come too close or push your cameras in their face. Most importantly, just because you have a camera or mobile phone, it doesn't mean one can start clicking pictures. Ask for their permission and then click."
