Mumbai: A recent incident involving Hrithik Roshan’s 17-year-old son Hridaan has sparked outrage on social media. A video shows Hridaan attempting to dodge the paparazzi as they chase him. The video shows Hridaan walking out of a building when photographers call out to him. Startled, he tries to escape by walking quickly, visibly trying to avoid the cameras.
As the photographers continue following him, Hridaan is seen running towards his car to escape the attention. The paparazzi are seen behind him, with one shouting, “Catch him!” Eventually, Hridaan sits in his car, looking visibly upset and uncomfortable.
This video has since gone viral on social media, where many users are criticising the paparazzi’s behaviour, calling it “creepy” and “harassment.”
Social media users are furious over the incident, condemning the paparazzi’s actions. Many referred to the photographers’ behaviour as “intrusive” and “creepy,” with some suggesting they should respect Hridaan’s privacy.
“Paps should be notified by the police for stalking minors,” one user commented, while another said, “They should be notified for stalking period, regardless of whether it’s a minor or an adult. Wish people took a stronger stance against these vultures.”
“Why would you run after a barely legal child like that!? He legit seemed a little scared and accosted,” one user wrote. Others shared similar sentiments, with some calling it a “crime” to chase a child in this manner.
Many also expressed concern about the impact of such behaviour on Hridaan. “This is the reason celebs today don’t reveal their kids’ faces, even when they’re grown up,” one user remarked. Another shared, “This is dangerous and unnecessarily putting that child in harm’s way. The paps should be booked for harassment.”
