Veteran Bollywood actress Neetu Kapoor recently appeared to take a sarcastic swipe at paparazzi over their repeated requests for photographs of actresses from behind. The actress, who was last seen in Daadi Ki Shaadi, was spotted stepping out of an establishment on Sunday when photographers at the venue asked her for a picture of her back.
As she walked towards her car, Neetu turned around and sarcastically asked, “Aapko ye bada accha lagta hai na, ‘back’?” The paparazzi responded in the negative as she got into her car and closed the door.
