Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter Shweta Nanda joins a long list of celebs who have expressed their annoyance over paparazzi attention on their and their children’s lives.

[caption id=“attachment_3045134” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Preity Zinta and Shweta Nanda.

Nor, might I add, do they have her permission to post her private pictures. She is not a public figure. Yes, she is related to some very famous people, but that is something completely out of her control,” Swetha writes in the letter. She questions why her daughter who enjoys life like every other teenager is seen in a different way just because she comes from a Bollywood family. All Of Navya Nanda’s social media accounts are private and she is not on Twitter. Yet she already enjoys celebrity status on social media with many fan pages on Twitter and Instagram. The troubled mother goes on to vent her helplessness in protecting her child from the world’s prying eyes. She speaks about the effect that the comments that judge her and call her names can harm her self-esteem. Earlier in the day Preity Zinta also took to Twitter to talk about media attention. She says she does not like the way photographers pounce on her to take pictures as it makes the actress uncomfortable. The 41-year-old star slammed the increasing paparazzi culture in the country, saying these days no one politely asks for a photograph.

Gotta run now, but before that I wud like 2tell everyone (specially the photographers with big flashes ) that lurk in the dark a few things.

1) Please don't jump on us or PUSH our PARENTS or KIDS or friends n family for a photo. ASK POLITELY or U will NEVER get a proper photo !
— Preity G Zinta (@realpreityzinta) October 10, 2016
She further said that photographers should not “make news” saying that stars misbehaved with them, because if their bodyguards push lensmen, they have a valid reason.
2) If a star's security pushes you there is a GOODENOUGH Reason that U deserved it so stop making news about how badly behaved we are 🙏 Pls

3) If I don't want to be photographed I will hide my face. Not cuz I have had bad surgery, or have no make up or whatever - It just means NO

4) It's my face, my life and my choice ! If I'm dying to be photographed I will post it on twitter or Instagram so pls be polite or OK BYE🙏
