Bollywood may not be hounded by the paparazzi to the extent that it is prevalent in Hollywood, but that&rsquo;s not to say that our film stars don&rsquo;t have run-ins with the media. On many occasions, leading actors and actresses have lost their cool and as a result, got embroiled in a tussle with them.

Several other times, they have played a game of cat and mouse as they made photographers wait for hours on end. The need for privacy is a common plea that celebs are known to hide behind. Perhaps a case in point is the recent Shraddha Kapoor episode.
Turns out that the Aashiqui 2 actress was giving media photographers a tough time and as a result, they decided to boycott her. This meant that at a recent press conference called to promote her film, Ek Villain, lensmen refused to photograph the actress. And while the actress did meet them on another day to resolve the issue, many celebs don&rsquo;t hesitate before locking horns with the media.

When he finally reached the venue, the media is said to have reacted angrily and they expected an apology from the actor. This, however, only angered Saif and he refused to do so.

The event slipped into chaos when the crowd situation went out of control, leaving camera equipments broken and Saif Ali Khan shouting.
Hrithik Roshan Lowdown: The Krrish actor has been mad at the media on several occasions. One such incident was when Hrithik Roshan visited Shirdi with his family.
