Taapsee said that the paparazzi needs to respect her as much as she respects them as she believes respect is a two-way street. She mentioned that she has dealt with paparazzi in all three industries Tamil, Telugu and Hindi and a lot of them are her friends. "But some of them sometimes forget that there is a very thin line between being a public figure and public property,” she added.

She further said, "You should hear the tone in which they sometimes speak. It is just so insulting to us. The way that gentleman spoke to me it seemed as though he was doing me a favour by clicking me. Even my parents don’t scold me in that tone. I don’t even know how to describe it to you. I was given a schedule to follow. I was doing that. Why should I be at the receiving end of this tone, as if I have committed a crime?”
