Back in 2018, Sanjay Dutt lost his composure and yelled insults at the paparazzi waiting outside his house as he was coming from a party. He, under the influence of alcohol, asked paps to go home and celebrate Diwali with their families. The irate actor retaliated with further derogatory comments and insults when one of them said they were just doing?their jobs as their seniors had ordered them to do so.

Even when paps can sometimes become a bit too much, celebrities do not avoid them because they know that doing so could harm their careers and result in financial loss. In this industry, there has been and always will be a love-hate relationship between celebrities and paparazzi, and there's just no escape from it!
