Ever wondered how the celebs behave with the paparazzi? Do you want a first hand account of what the paparazzi think of the celebs?

Pinkvilla caught up with some of the photogs where they shared some interesting tidbits on the stars.

Read on...

Shah Rukh Khan

SRK is generally late for meetings with the press. The press knows this well and expects at least a two to three hours delay. The media name for SRK is Khan Sahab'.

However SRK is very friendly with the media. He can speak with the media for hours. He knows very well how to win the heart of the press. For example, he invited the media for lunch at Mannat for the success party of Chennai Express. He is the first actor to always celebrate his birthday with the media at his bungalow.

Salman Khan

No media person would like to miss a Salman Khan event. Salman is generally on time for the events and also very friendly with them. The media addresses him as Sallu Bhai or Bhai Jaan. Journalists like his helpful nature. Salman speaks very little, so everyone knows the event will end on time.

The questions thrown at Salman depend on his mood. When he is in a good mood, it is apparent as he generally cracks a lot of jokes. When he is not in a jolly mood, everyone knows how much to ask him.

Aamir Khan

Aamir is very punctual, but does not make many an appearance for the media. He invites the media to his home only during Eid. Otherwise, it is during film promotions and sometimes during social events. When he is at it, Aamir usually talks a lot, sometimes boring the media persons. However, what the press likes about Aamir is that he is quite warm and friendly towards them.

Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir is generally friendly with the media. For example, during press conferences or official interactions with the press, Ranbir is co-operative and tries to answer all questions thrown by the media. He is also quite funny and keeps everyone entertained during such times. However, when he is out partying with pals, he likes to keep it personal. If the paparazzi tries to click him during such nights, Ranbir can get quite mad.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya rarely attends events. However, when she does, she is very well dressed and usually in white or black. She is quite friendly with the media and calls them by name. She never hesitates to shake hands with the media persons. She is also simple and smiling, and sometimes cannot control her laughter.

However, when she attends an event with the Bachchan family, she is a bit aloof. She is the perfect bahu and takes backstage by speaking little. She usually sticks to her family and avoids media questions during such times.

Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor is a media's delight. She is the best face to click as she is always laughing and smiling. She has established some personal friendships with the media people and always greets them. She is also very punctual.

Kareena is quite down to earth. The journalists always want to know about her personal life. She answers all questions with humility and a smile. The female journalists usually take some beauty and fitness tips from Kareena.

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka is a bubbly, happy-go-lucky star. She is also very friendly with the media. An interesting fact about Priyanka is that, media people are always looking for some new tattoo on her body.

Priyanka is clever and so the media usually does their homework before attacking her with any questions.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is quite shy in front of the media. She is also a bit hesitant when it comes to speaking in Hindi. When the reporters ask her something in Hindi, she replies in English. Sometimes, she needs a bit of help from her colleagues to understand the journalists' questions. Her answers are generally short and curt.

During the promotions of Ek Tha Tiger, Salman Khan used to sometimes pull her leg. She took some time to understand what was going on, and then laughed it off, even if she did not understand it.

Deepika Padukone

The media people call her Tall Girl'. Her height and personality make her a delight to photograph. She also presents herself very well

No one like to miss an event of Deepika. Deepika is also a bit media shy and keeps hers answers short and sweet.

Ranveer Singh

Ranveer is perceived as a show off by the media people. The moment the cameras go ON', Ranveer grabs all attention by doing something totally unexpected. However, he is bindaas', full of joy and laughter. A thing about Ranveer is that he HAS' to dance at such events. He also experiments a lot with his looks, so we don't know what to expect from him next.

SRK is never on time for anyone, that's a norm with him. Also he more than makes up for it when he finally arrives. Once a charmer, always a charmer. 😛

Nice to read about Kareena,PC and DP. They are making fun of Katrina here too. We knew Ash feels suffocated when she is with JayaB.

Am shocked that Salman arrives on time, and Srk doesn't it. Srk seems the more professional one.
I guess after the open letter, no paparazzi will ever like Katrina. They totally made fun of her while they said nice things about the other actresses.

SRK always makes up for it by his witty comments and good interview answers.

This analysis is spot on!! Salman is good with the media when it as todo with his movies etc..but his personal business is when he gets irritated, and he does like to crack jokes, and i do rem him pullimg katrinas leg during ETT promotions it was cute..!!

Regarding what was said on Katrina its spot on, she rather speak in english then hindi and her colleagues to explain to her things i have seen that in most her interviews!!

And though i see less on other stars mentioned but what have seen it seems on target!!
Anyways nice article !!

SRK is late and Salman is punctual 😲

Ash, no wonder the media people were very friendly with her when she was out with her mil who got angry 😆

Funny what they said about Kat and Salman. One of the interviews I saw during Ek Tha Tiger was when he was doing exercises and Kat was answering questions thrown at him telling the media person to look at and ask her instead of Salman..

Rest are as expected. Nice to know for nosy people. 😳

Did people really not know that SRK never arrives anywhere on time? The media is so used to it that they arrive an hour late themselves now.

Strangely, instead of being irritated with it, they just seem to appreciate the time he eventually spends with them. Coz like others pointed out, there's no other actor who'll provide you with so much entertainment and sound bite. SRK is basically the best person to be interviewing. He's intensely engaging. And he ALWAYS gives them extra time.

He also knows most of them by their names. He'll keep cracking inside jokes with them when they ask questions. You can see how fond most of the media is of him. (despite his quirks)
