Sneh Zala recalled an incident of Aditya Roy Kapur and Ananya Panday. Sneh Zala told, “When I was in Goa, I got a call from my boss that there was a couple there. I had to see them at Goa airport, because after reaching Mumbai airport they would separate and then leave from there. When I reached the airport, I waited for hours and finally the couple arrived and I saw them.” When asked who this couple was, Pap said, “Aditya, you can understand further”. He said that the couple was seen together.

Katrina and Vicky too?, During the Time the Duo Dated
Sneh Zala said, “Katrina had once stopped me from clicking her pictures. When her relationship with Vicky was new, I had clicked their picture. She said delete those pictures, I will give you solo exclusive pictures, when I get ready and come. The manager had taken my number and after a week, she called me outside Yash Raj Studios.” Well, he opened up the secrets of Bollywood celebs.
Alia and Ranbir Requested to Respect ‘Raha’s Privacy’ Earlier
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, the dynamic pair, made waves online by sharing their daughter Raha’s first public appearance at the Kapoor’s Christmas bash in 2023. They had previously requested the paparazzi to respect Raha’s privacy and avoid taking her pictures.
Talking about the same, Sneh Zala said, “They told us that even if we happen to click a picture where her face is visible, we should hide it by using an emoticon. But we didn’t do that, we wouldn’t click at all, she is a baby. That was something we always maintained. Even during Taimur, though Saif and Kareena never asked us not to, we would avoid filming certain visuals, like him going to school with his nanny.”
“We would never cross that line of privacy. The internet broke when Raha’s face was revealed. On Twitter, Alia, Ranbir and Raha, all three were trending on the same day! It was a big dhamaka for us,” he added.
