A few days ago, actress Deepika Padukone expressed her sadness and anger over the paparazzi culture in the wake of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. She took to her social media handle to voice her concern with the practice and while many people supported the actress, many disagreed with her. Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut claimed that Deepika was being selective with her outrage over this issue.

The original video was shared with the caption, “Please note my images and videos cannot be posted on any platforms without my written consent” to which Deepika replied, “Right. But it is OK for you to take this video and not only post it but also probably monetise it without his or his family’s written consent?”

After Deepika’s comment her fans also started speaking up and the issue started trending on twitter. But the debate was ignited after another popular paparazzi, Viral Bhayani, posted a series of tweets to voice his side on the issue. He took it on a micro-blogging website, Twitter and wrote, “If you call people for your party they turn up for drinks but when the same person dies? This is a mean industry, I have covered so many funerals and it is always a Raza Murad or Ashoke Pandit who come to pay respect @KanganaTeam @deepikapadukone”

Adding to this, a few minutes later he also posted, “Instagram cannot be monetized but said that to monetize ona funeral would be cheap. Do you think I covered #basuchatterjee recent funeral to make money? @KanganaTeam @deepikapadukone”

“A lot of tv channels and media houses were doing live coverage of the funeral and none of them were following any guidelines but at the end of the days the paps are slammed @deepikapadukone @KanganaTeam,” he added.

He then ended his point with, “I’m always open to criticism and negativity as it all helps me. I’m alone handling my social media so I make a lot of mistakes but my followers always correct me when I’m wrong and yes my posts are weird and always “attention seeking” but I’m not”
