"Pic important hai ya Life?" Salman Khan losses cool at Paparazzi
Salman Khan recently got upset with paparazzi outside a Mumbai hospital. Videos that went viral on social media showed photographers following him and shouting his name as he walked out of the hospital gate. Salman looked visibly irritated and questioned their behaviour through hand gestures and expressions.
After the incident, Salman shared a series of posts on Instagram expressing his disappointment. He said he has always respected and supported the media. “If I see any press at a hospital enjoying my pain the press I have stood for, interacted with, taken care of, and made sure also earn their bread and butter,” Salman wrote.
He further questioned the photographers for trying to capture pictures during such a sensitive moment. “Bhai bhai bhai, Maatrubhumi picture ki maa ki aankh, pic important hai ya life?” he wrote, asking whether getting photos was more important than someone’s life and privacy.
Salman’s anger seemed to come from the fact that the paparazzi followed him even at a hospital. The actor felt that his private space was being disturbed during a difficult time. He also expressed that while celebrities are used to cameras, there should still be limits when it comes to moments involving pain, stress, or family concerns.
The incident has once again raised questions about celebrity privacy. While actors and public figures understand media attention, photographers should also show sensitivity in serious situations like hospital visits. Maintaining distance, respecting boundaries, and avoiding aggressive behaviour can help create a healthier relationship between celebrities and the media.
The controversy came shortly after Salman shared a post about being “alone and lonely,” which led to many assumptions online. Later, he clarified that he was not talking about himself and said he is grateful for his family, friends, and fans. Meanwhile on the work front, Salman will next be seen in Maatrubhumi after his cameo appearance in Raja Shivaji.
