Inside the lens: Yogen Shah and Viral Bhayani reveal what a day in the life of Bollywood paparazzi really looks like | Exclusive
In an era where paparazzi videos trend within minutes and celebrity sightings become instant content, the idea of a “typical workday” no longer applies. For Mumbai’s paparazzi, the day doesn’t begin with a fixed routine or end with a clear sign-off. It starts early, stretches late into the night, and is dictated entirely by movement, instinct, and chance. "It’s not just about clicking pictures — it’s about being alert all the time,” say paparazzi veterans Yogen Shah and Viral Bhayani, speaking to ETimes.
