Paps, mind your manners. And if you don’t have any, Arjun Kapoor will teach you a few! The actor was recently irked by a bunch of photographers who had gathered to click his pictures. He had stepped into a theatre to watch Judwaa 2, and the paps waited outside for him to emerge so they could get their required shots. When he did come out, there was a fan there who requested Arjun for a photo. Arjun gamely obliged but even as the fan walked across towards the star for the pic, the photogs started to yell at him like he had committed a not-so-minor crime! The fan was obviously shaken by this mass reprimanding but it Arjun who quickly took matters in hand. He firmly pulled up the photographers for this bad behaviour and asked them to not behave badly with fans. He also pointed out that they needed to talk to people more tameez (courteousness).Earlier this year, Arjun had expressed his misgivings about the paparazzi and their unerring ability to figure out a star’s whereabouts. Apparently, they even sniffed out the fact that he and Rohit Dhawan had gone to watch a film together as they had been tailed and snapped by the waiting paps. Half-angry, half-amused, he had jibed, “I think I should change my car or I should change my number plates!”

It is the paps and their sharp instincts that have made Arjun ever so careful in his private life – which the photogs insist on making public! After despite his best efforts, he hasn’t always quite managed to conceal his romantic rendezvous. Who can forget the time the paps, acting on a tip-off, had laid in wait outside Malaika Arora’s residence late at night, waiting for Arjun to arrive? And he did! His driver came out first to check that the coast was clear before dropping Arjun inside and leaving. Eventually, it needed a visit from the police to get the photogs to clear the premises – but the truth was well and truly out of the bag!
