Bollywood Hungama Style Icons 2024: Esha Gupta speaks out against intrusive paparazzi practices: “Once I was really upset about a video…”

In today's era, celebrities are constantly under the watchful eye of paparazzi, be it at high-end restaurants or airport terminals. This omnipresence begs the question: Does this constant scrutiny exert undue pressure on celebrities to maintain a flawless style quotient at all times? The panelists delved into this very topic, exploring the potential downsides of the "pap culture" phenomenon.

One could argue that the pressure to be photographed in trendy outfits can lead to a sense of inauthenticity or a disconnect between a celebrity's personal style and their public persona. The panelists likely discussed the importance of striking a balance between maintaining a stylish image and staying true to one's individual fashion sense.

The discussion also explored the concept of "airport looks," a phenomenon where celebrities are photographed in carefully curated outfits while traveling. The panelists might have debated whether there's a fine line between expressing personal style and succumbing to the pressure of projecting a specific image.

During the conversation, the topic of privacy came up and the panelists answered whether it has affected then in any way. Esha Gupta said that paparazzi has always respected her privacy. “They always been amazing and nice. I think one surprise has been that they have always respected my privacy. I think once I was really upset about a video and I requested them not to post it. But it was posted and a lot of comments were like she is trying to show stuff. I was like ‘No, I don’t live in India anymore. I am very confident about my body’. But it is not the fault of paparazzi. A lot of people do it on purpose to get the attention but people write about it negatively. I am like ‘Look, I am not trying to show my tits on purpose. I will show it when I want to and the way I want to.’”

Another interesting aspect of the discussion could have been the exploration of the concept of "too much." With social media constantly buzzing with celebrity fashion moments, is there a danger of oversaturation? Does the constant barrage of perfectly styled looks take away from the appreciation of genuine personal style?

The second edition of the Macho Hint presents Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Summit and Awards 2024 in association with Cinema Waale Film and Television Productions LLP and Across Media Solution, is being held on May 2, 2024, at Taj Lands’ End in Mumbai. The highlights of the award show apart from the invigorating panel discussions are expected to be big names like Ajay Devgn, Kartik Aaryan, Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor and so many more. The awards are presented by Macho Hint, Co-Powered by TVS Raider, Premium Lingerie Partner Amante, Astrology Partner Astrotalk, Gold Partner Senco Gold & Diamonds, Stylish Footwear Partner Red Chief, Stylish Watches Partner Poze Sonata, Outdoor Partner Bright Outdoor and Venue Partner Taj Hotels.
