Bollywood Paparazzi Culture: Stars Prefer Fan Clubs Over Media

In Bollywood, there's a big discussion about how stars treat the media.

Some photographers, called paparazzi, say they are often invited to events by PR teams to make it look like there's a big crowd.

But stars prefer to have fan clubs in front because they shout nice things, while journalists are put at the back and not allowed to ask tough questions.

This makes it seem like everyone loves the stars, but it's not always real.

Some people say stars have created a fake world around them where only good things are said.
