Bollywood star Alia Bhatt, known for her usually cordial interactions with the paparazzi, was recently caught in an unusual moment of frustration when a group of photographers followed her into a private building. A video showing Bhatt visibly upset with the paparazzi has surfaced online and is quickly gaining attention.
The incident occurred as Bhatt was seen entering a building, walking briskly without stopping for pictures. Ignoring her team’s polite requests to give her space, the photographers continued to follow her, even entering the building lobby.
The video shows Bhatt visibly irritated as she confronts the photographers for crossing boundaries. “Kya kar rahe ho, yeh private space hai (What are you doing here? This is my private space),” she is heard saying, expressing her frustration.

This is not the first time Bhatt has taken a stand against invasions of her privacy. In 2023, the actress publicly criticized photographers who had taken unauthorised pictures of her while she was inside her home.
Bhatt expressed her anger in an Instagram post, saying, “Are you kidding me? I was at my house, having a perfectly normal afternoon, sitting in my living room when I felt something watching over me. I looked up and saw two men on the terrace of the neighbouring building with a camera right at me. In what world is this okay and is this allowed? This is a gross invasion of someone’s privacy. There’s a line that you must not cross, and it is safe to say that all lines were crossed today.”
Bhatt’s strong reaction has sparked renewed conversations about celebrity privacy, with many fans supporting her stance against the invasive behavior of the paparazzi.
On the work front, Bhatt will next be seen in the much-anticipated drama Jigra, set to release on October 11, 2024. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film also features Vedang Raina in a key role.
Additionally, Bhatt is set to star in Alpha, a high-octane action film directed by Shiv Rawail, and Love & War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She is also part of Farhan Akhtar’s upcoming road movie Jee Le Zaraa alongside Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra.
