Actor Shehnaaz Gill, known for her bubbly nature and friendly rapport with fans and photographers, had an unexpected and uncomfortable run-in with the paparazzi recently.
While waiting for an elevator during a public outing, Shehnaaz was suddenly surrounded by photographers. Although she politely asked them to stop after a few pictures—saying, “Chalo, bas karo bhai (That’s it, please stop it)”—the photographers kept clicking.
A security guard stepped in, asking them to stop. But Shehnaaz, clearly frustrated, responded, “Nahi… Yeh dheeth hain, yeh band nahi karenge… Aapko pata nahi hai. Yeh bahut… (No… These people are impudent. They won’t stop… You don’t know them).”
Eventually, as Shehnaaz entered the elevator, the photographers finally paused. Many social media users supported the actress afterward, calling her humble and kind-hearted.
Later, Shehnaaz shared a video on Instagram Stories, explaining why she looked upset. “I’m not sad, I just don’t know what to do,” she said. “I came upstairs for practice, and the media was there—I had no idea. Now people will find out what my real hair looks like. I just came from home after taking a shower. This isn’t fair to me.”
Shehnaaz’s Work Front:
Shehnaaz rose to fame in Punjabi films and Bigg Boss 13, where her bond with the late actor Sidharth Shukla made headlines.
She made her Bollywood debut in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan in 2023 and later appeared in Thank You For Coming, which premiered at TIFF. Her latest music video, Sajna Ve Sajna, is part of the 2024 film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video starring Triptii Dimri and Rajkummar Rao.
