The media is known to be one of the most important aspects of a celebrity's life, yet one cannot exist without the other.
But does that justify the intrusion of every detail of a celebrity's private life?
Late on Monday night things took an ugly turn when Arjun Rampal, his wife Mehr Jesia and their friend Sussanne Khan attended a special screening of a Hollywood movie.
Minutes after leaving the premises a car started chasing them at break-neck speed with the paparazzi trying to snap a picture of the trio.
The chase continued for a while, compelling Arjun to halt his car abruptly in order to speak to them.
Despite his efforts, the chasing car fled past Arjun, almost injuring him.
