Reflecting on a recent incident where she was visibly upset while surrounded by paparazzi, Poonam elaborated on the discomfort she experienced. “I was very uncomfortable because I had forgotten to wear my nipple pads, and I was very late,” she explained. “I stepped out of the house, and I was in the car when I realized something was wrong. To the point that I did not even enter the premiere event. I took a u-turn, came back, and sat in my car. But in those 2 minutes, I was trying to cover myself.”

When questioned about the prevalence of paparazzi waiting to capture potentially awkward moments, Poonam expressed frustration. “Everyone is here to do business,” she remarked. “The backshots of girls with the caption ‘guess who, guess who’… What are people watching? Other girls’ backsides? And the pages get their engagement numbers and likes. But the reason behind them getting such engagement numbers is because people are watching it. They will publish whatever sells, so how are even they at fault?”
Poonam’s candid remarks shed light on the discomfort many actresses feel when subjected to intrusive paparazzi photography. The prevalence of such practices raises questions about the ethics of paparazzi culture and the boundaries of privacy in the entertainment industry. As conversations around consent and respect continue to evolve, Poonam’s perspective serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting individuals’ boundaries, both on and off-camera.
