Even a car is being parked, it can be someone who is arriving onto another set or something, but people walking around with Sabji bags, isn't it a hindrance?
Nope. They are extras. They are used to show its an actual building / place they are in. Its deliberate.
If there is a cut / retake in b/w you may even come across the actor going the same way again.
The car one, i didnt notice. will check and comment.
Ok... saw the car... can assume anything outside that gate is not staged.. and all public movement inside is. Probably the outside of the gate wont be visible / be blurred. Did notice an old man arrive near the gate, stop, and go back. probably was asked to... else he would unintentionally come in the frame.
Where the focus won't be on them, but on the actors and their dialogues. 

First and foremost, we did get a birthday celebration video with 2 cakes being cut, what more did the SBB people want?
Secondly, they can have as many celebrations as they want, not necessary that all the events have to be covered. Thirdly, Sriti isn’t a publicity hungry person who wants the camera all the time on her. Pathetic of the lady reporter whose voiceover is used in the video to say they are ‘family’ and so Sriti shouldn’t mind them covering her celebrations all the time. 
... from another id too.
