Her daughter, however, immediately moved behind her mother after noticing the cameras. She was heard saying, “I don’t like it.”Noticing that her daughter was uneasy, Shriya calmly responded, “Okay, you stand behind mamma.” Shriya then posed with her family for the paparazzi, while her daughter continued to stay hidden behind her. The child was also heard shouting and expressing her annoyance at the photographers. The video drew reactions online, with several users saying the child’s wishes should have been respected.
