Overview
- Video from Tuesday night, July 14, shows Mouni Roy seated inside a car in Bandra repeatedly telling photographers to stop filming and saying “Band karo” and “Mat kheecho.”
- Friends and onlookers intervened as photographers continued to record through the car window, with Anusha Dandekar seen calming Roy and gesturing at the paparazzi.
- Hours after the clip spread online Roy posted an Instagram Story asking photographers to “Don’t pap me ever,” then deleted the post while screenshots continued to circulate.
- Roy later thanked close friend Subhashree Ganguly for rushing to her side, and the episode has drawn mixed public reaction ranging from sympathy for Roy to criticism of her tone.
- The incident has renewed media and public debate over paparazzi practices and celebrity privacy, coming after Roy and Suraj Nambiar’s May separation and following several recent on-camera confrontations between actresses and photographers.
