Actor Raveena Tandon, a mother of four, on Thursday commented on an Instagram post shared by photographer Viral Bhayani, in which he acknowledged Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s request to protect the privacy of their baby girl. In her comment, Tandon thanked the paparazzi for always being respectful to her wishes as well. "Totally agree with that sentiment and kudos to all our photographers for always respecting people’s wishes," the 45-year-old wrote.
Kohli and Sharma, who recently welcomed their first child, urged paparazzi to not click photos of their newborn daughter on January 13. The couple told PTI, “As parents, we have a simple request to make to you. We want to protect the privacy of our child and we need your help and support."
The new parents have also sent goodies and personalised gift packages to Bhayani, along with a letter that said, "We would request you to kindly not take or carry any content that has our child." Sharing a video on Instagram, the photographer wrote that the couple has "sent out these gifts for me and my team" and they have also requested "us not to the click their baby till she is mature enough."
