Akshay Kumar on paparazzi

In a recent interview with India Today, the actor explained why he does not have an issue with paps clicking him, be it during work or with family. “Ek photographer ko kariban 3.5–4k milte hain. Aur agar usko milte hain, toh mere liye kya problem honi chahiye? Meri sherwani mein kya pareshaani honi chahiye ki main khada ho ke photo le lu? (A photographer earns around Rs 3,500–4,000 for clicking my photo. If they are earning that, why should I have a problem? What’s the issue for me to simply stand there in my sherwani and let them take a picture?)”
