# Shriya Saran’s daughter hides from paparazzi at Mumbai temple

Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Shriya Saran's five-year-old daughter Radha hid behind her mother and yelled "I don't like it" at paparazzi outside an ISKCON temple in Mumbai on Tuesday. Videos of the incident surfaced on social media, prompting fans to ask photographers to respect the child's feelings. Telangana Today reports that Shriya calmly told her daughter "Okay, you stand behind mamma" and posed with her family while Radha stayed hidden. The outlet also noted a similar incident weeks ago when the child dropped a lollipop at an event and cried, with Shriya comforting her. Hindustan Times adds that fans commented on Instagram, saying "one should respect that tiny feelings" and "leave the kid alone." The report also mentions that Shriya has previously spoken about balancing work and motherhood, including taking an early morning flight to attend her daughter's sports day.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both outlets report the same event neutrally, but Telangana Today frames it as a heartwarming mother-daughter moment, emphasising Shriya's calm handling and her broader hands-on parenting. Hindustan Times gives more space to fan outrage, stressing the child's boundaries and the public's call to respect them. Neither outlet criticises the paparazzi directly, but the Hindustan Times framing implicitly questions their behaviour by amplifying fan reactions. A careful reader will note that the child's discomfort is clear from both accounts, and the key unresolved point is whether paparazzi protocols around celebrity children will change in response to this episode.
