Kannada actress Sapthami Gowda has called out certain paparazzi members and YouTubers for "deliberate zoom-ins and inappropriate angles" at public events and film-related gatherings. In an Instagram Story that has since received support from two of her Sandalwood colleagues, the Kantara actress wrote, "Repeatedly, videos and photographs of female actors at public events are shot and circulated from inappropriate angles, with unnecessary zooms that focus on our bodies rather than our work."Sapthami stated that such behaviour is disrespectful and unacceptable.
