The actress, who married American beau Gene Goodenough this year, shuttles between Mumbai and Los Angeles. She said now one needs to have a 'riot gear' to control paparazzi.
"Earlier the photographers were so polite and amazing. I always had conversations with them and cracked jokes. Now we need riot gear," Preity added.
The actress then went to have a live chat session with Twitter users, where many users slammed her for complaining about the interest people have in her life due to her star status. Responding, Preity said: "I'm only complaining because I almost fell down and was about to get a heart attack when suddenly people appeared from the dark."
Then to another user, she wrote: "You sound like an ignorant person... I worked hard in life and fame is the after-effect of it. That does not mean I should be punished for it!"
The actress says she just wants photographers to be polite.
She said: "Ok maybe it's silly to ask for privacy - but what about etiquette and being polite? Sure there is a polite way to ask for a photo instead of 'Dhavaa'."
