If you are a celebrity, there are seldom going to be instances where you have a moment with paparazzi and if at all, it is up for interpretation, it will result in a controversy more often than not. Recently, at the receiving end of this was actor Pragya Jaiswal.
For the uninitiated, Jaiswal was recently subjected to an internet interpretation of what was said that Jaiswal lost her cool at the paparazzi after they were apparently shouting and yelling. Wearing a little black dress, Jaiswal began walking about clicking for the paparazzi and she did, there were audible sounds from the paparazzi screaming, to which, towards the end, Jaiswal supposedly made a hand gesture and looked back in anger.

She then added, "What happened that night was that I was entering someone's home, it's a birthday party. The paps were shouting loudly, "Pragya Ma'am, Pragya Ma'am", and I responded with my hand gesturing, 'halla mat karo yaar (don't make a commotion).'"

If you notice, the entire walk is normal speed, as I am walking fast but only that bit of me looking back with a hand gesture is in slow motion. And due to that, it looks amplified and it hence appears like 'Oh My God, what did she do'.
She also said, "They always want that back shot and were waiting for that. For me, I am just so aware that I am entering someone's home. It isn't like an event or a ground where you can make noise, scream and so on. There are homes everywhere. So, it was just me signaling, 'halla mat karo yaar.' and nothing else to it."
On the workfront, Jaiswal is currently all set to be seen in Tyson Naidu, a Telugu film opposite Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas and is also going to be a part of Akhanda 2 alongside frequent collaborator, Nandamuri Balakrishna.
