Sonam Bajwa Gives Stern Warning to Paparazzi: “Don’t Zoom on My Face!”

In the ever-watchful world of Bollywood, celebrities are constantly under the media spotlight—and sometimes, that spotlight comes a little too close for comfort. This week, Punjabi sensation and actress Sonam Bajwa found herself in the buzz after firmly asking paparazzi to respect her personal space during a recent appearance in Mumbai’s Bandra district.

Sonam Bajwa’s Candid Interaction

Sonam Bajwa was spotted by paparazzi after a long interval, and the excitement was palpable. Paparazzi called out, “Ma’am, we’ve been waiting for a long time!” and “Ma’am, look here!” hoping to capture the perfect shot. However, in a rare candid moment, Sonam wasn’t shy about setting her boundaries. She warned the photographers, “No one is allowed to zoom in on my face. Please don’t do it.”

The photographers promptly assured her that they wouldn’t zoom in, and the atmosphere calmed as Sonam patiently let them take pictures, but only on her terms.

Celebs and Paparazzi: Boundaries in the Spotlight

The conversation about celebrities’ right to privacy is heating up as more stars speak out. Just a few days prior, another celebrity — Sam (possibly referring to Samantha Ruth Prabhu or another popular figure) — was spotted in a similar situation. Paparazzi found her behaviour less than friendly and shared their dissatisfaction on social media.

In the video, Sam was heard asking the crowd not to push and instructing everyone, “Don’t do this,” and “Please don’t shout.” She also firmly told the press, “Move aside, uncle. Don’t shout,” as they clamored for the best angle.

Social Media Reacts: Fans Support, Paparazzi Push Back

These incidents reflect a growing trend: celebrities being more vocal about how they wish to be photographed and when. On social media, many fans applauded Sonam’s and Sam’s straightforwardness, saying stars have every right to set limits on their public interactions. Others sided with the paparazzi, pointing out that these encounters are part and parcel of celeb life.

The Bigger Picture

As the line between public and private blurs in the age of constant cameras, celebrities like Sonam Bajwa are sending a message—they value their privacy just as much as their fans value glimpses into their lives. Whether it’s a simple warning not to zoom in or a request to keep things respectful, these moments highlight the difficult balance of maintaining public appeal while protecting personal boundaries.
