Riteish Deshmukh seeks paparazzo who gave Rs 100 to hungry boy

Actor Riteish Deshmukh is being widely discussed online after a video showed him trying to help a hungry boy but having no cash. In the clip, a paparazzo standing nearby gave the boy Rs 100 from his own pocket. Riteish initially tried to stop him with folded hands but the paparazzo insisted.

Since Riteish had no cash, he asked for the paparazzo's GPay details. In the rush, he instead took a photo of the man, promising to find and reimburse him later. Riteish later posted the paparazzo's picture on Instagram Stories with the caption: "Bhau, Thank You. Please help me get his number!! He paid for me – I owe him."

Social media reactions were mixed. Many praised the actor and the photographer for their kindness, while others questioned how Riteish would transfer money using only a photo. Some viewers suspected the incident was a public relations exercise, asking why he did not borrow from his team or take the paparazzo's UPI details directly.
