Salman Khan drops shocking truth about paparazzi who take suggestive pictures of female stars: ‘Some women ask them to…’

Love him or hate him, Salman Khan has never minced his words when expressing his opinions. Recently, the Dabangg star lashed out against paparazzi who take pictures of female celebs from behind without their consent. The actor made the announcement during Bigg Boss 20, following Neha Dhupia’s appreciation for his decision to speak against the practice. She added that photographers had continued engaging in the behaviour despite his earlier warning. However, the Hum Aapke Hai Kaun star also dropped a shocking claim: Some celebrities actually invite paparazzi and pay them to take pictures. However, he said that the photographers should respect the wishes of the celebrity.

“There are also some women and some guys who call them (paps) there, pay for them there, and they ask them to do this. Wo bhi kya krein?" he said.

He also told Neha that photographers should respect the female star’s request if they did not want certain pictures to be taken. Salman stated that photographers had intensified the practice despite his earlier remarks on the show. He observed that some people were dismissing his warning as a joke and alleged that even prominent digital platforms were engaging in such behaviour. The actor asserted that he would take strong action against those responsible and would not allow the issue to be taken lightly.


Neha Dhupia appreciated Salman for addressing the matter on a widely watched platform. Her acknowledgement came after the actor reiterated his firm stance against photographers who continue taking inappropriate pictures of actresses despite their explicit objections.

This is far from the first time the superstar has spoken out against the paparazzi taking unwanted, often suggestive pictures of female celebs. “And then the one shot they take from behind, which none of the heroines like? There must be a few who say it’s okay; I don’t mind it. But what about those who don’t like it?" he said.

He also advised female celebrities to take a firm stand against photographers who take such sleazy pictures without consent.

“I am saying this to all the girls who don’t like this. Jahan aisa hua, ghoom ke chamaat maaro.”
