Shruti Haasan found herself at the centre of attention after an uncomfortable moment during a recent outing led to a sharp exchange with a paparazzo.
The actor, who is often seen interacting calmly with photographers, appeared visibly annoyed when a remark crossed a line.
As she was leaving a restaurant, where she was surrounded by shutterbugs, a paparazzo was heard calling her “mumma,” reacting strongly to the remark.
She snapped back, “Kaun hai mumma? Aapki mumma hai? Kya bak rahe ho tum?” (Who is mumma? Is it your mother? What are you saying?)
The clip from the incident circulated on X (formerly Twitter) and has sparked a range of reactions online.
Most comments supported Shruti and questioned the paparazzi in how they often cross the line while dealing with celebrities, resorting to personal remarks and being too familiar.
The incident has once again sparked conversation around celebrity-paparazzi interactions and the importance of maintaining boundaries and respectful communication in public spaces.
Shruti Haasan will next be seen in Aakasamlo Oka Tara, alongside Dulquer Salmaan and Satvika Veeravalli, and also has Salaar: Part 2 in the pipeline alongside Prabhas.
