Actress Draws the Line at Promotional Event
In an unexpected moment that has sparked conversation throughout the Telugu film industry, actress Rukshar Dhillon publicly confronted photographers during the trailer launch of her upcoming film ‘Dilruba’ in Hyderabad on March 6, 2025.
The incident occurred when Dhillon, visibly distressed, called out certain photographers for capturing what she described as “uncomfortable” images despite her previous requests to stop. According to eyewitnesses, the actress was firm but measured as she addressed the situation head-on during the high-profile promotional event.
“I’ve asked respectfully before, but it feels like those requests were ignored,” Dhillon reportedly stated during the confrontation. The actress specifically urged photographers to be mindful of their camera angles and respect her personal boundaries.

A Pattern of Discomfort
This wasn’t an isolated incident, according to sources close to the situation. Dhillon had apparently experienced similar discomfort at previous promotional events for ‘Dilruba,’ including a song launch where she allegedly chose to skip the media photo opportunity altogether.
Industry insiders note that while promotional photography is standard practice for film marketing, the manner and approach can sometimes cross personal comfort zones for celebrities.
“There’s an unspoken contract between celebrities and media during these events,” explains a veteran entertainment publicist who wished to remain anonymous. “But that doesn’t mean personal boundaries should be disregarded.”

Balancing Promotion and Personal Boundaries
Dhillon’s stance has initiated important discussions about consent and respectful interaction in promotional settings. While actors understand media coverage is essential for film publicity, her actions highlight that there are limits to what should be acceptable.
Importantly, sources clarify that Dhillon’s comments weren’t aimed at all media representatives present but rather specific individuals whose photography techniques had repeatedly made her uncomfortable. The actress refrained from naming specific photographers or publications during the confrontation.
Rising Star Taking a Stand
For those unfamiliar with her work, Rukshar Dhillon has been steadily building her career in Telugu cinema since her debut in ‘Aakatayi’ (2017). She gained further recognition starring opposite Nani in ‘Krishnarjuna Yudham’ (2018), establishing herself as a promising talent in the industry.
Her upcoming film ‘Dilruba,’ co-starring Kiran Abbavaram, is scheduled for release on March 14, 2025, and has generated significant buzz among Telugu cinema fans.
Industry Implications
The incident raises broader questions about the dynamics between celebrities and media, especially in an era where conversations about consent and personal boundaries have gained prominence across industries.
Several fellow actors have privately expressed support for Dhillon’s decision to speak up, though most have avoided public comments on the specific incident.
Film industry analysts suggest this could potentially influence how promotional events are structured in the future, with clearer guidelines about photography protocols and greater sensitivity to performers’ comfort levels.
