Bollywood superstar Salman Khan strongly criticized paparazzi after a tense incident outside Mumbai’s Hinduja Hospital, where he was followed and photographed while visiting a family member, calling their actions insensitive and disrespectful. Viral videos showed photographers shouting and surrounding his vehicle, which visibly upset the actor.
Taking to Instagram late at night, Salman shared a series of posts questioning the media’s behaviour, saying he has always supported photographers but cannot accept people profiting from someone’s pain. He asked if pictures are more important than human life and urged media professionals to show basic empathy, especially in sensitive settings like hospitals.
In emotional posts, he also warned that despite being 60, he hasn’t forgotten how to stand up for himself, making it clear he won’t tolerate boundary‑crossing behaviour again.
The confrontation reignited public debate on celebrity privacy and media ethics, with many fans supporting Salman’s call for respect and responsible coverage.
Hours after the controversy, photographers reportedly apologised to Salman at the Raja Shivaji success party, and the actor accepted their apology, easing tensions.
