Salman Khan wants actresses to push back when paparazzi cross the line. During the latest Weekend time episode of Bigg Boss 20The actor had a blunt suggestion for women who don’t want to be photographed from intrusive angles – “Just give them a slap.”
Salman had raised this issue while talking to Mahi Vij in the show. He explained how some photographers wait for celebrities outside cars and deliberately focus their cameras on parts of their bodies. According to Salman, not every actress is comfortable with such pictures, although the pictures continue to be clicked and shared online.
“Who are these people? I’m saying to all the girls who don’t like it; wherever it happens, slap them. Ask them to take the same shot of their mothers or sisters and put it on social media. Disgusting people. Who made them so big? Who gave them a press card? What’s their mentality? Some people want to do it and 9 percent of girls don’t know, but I don’t know 9 percent of girls. Understand. Mothers don’t want it anymore, yet, if I find out who they are, it’s about everyone: actors, influencers and politicians too.
The actor also remembered Sai Manjrekar domineering The co-stars, however, become uncomfortable with such photography. He mentions Neha Dhupia and says she has fired photographers for such behaviour. Salman recalled an incident involving his niece, saying that a picture was taken from behind while she was walking and later posted with the caption, “Guess who?”
Before making his point about the paparazzi, Salman explained what kind of shots he was referring to. “Mahi, do you know, there is a new trend these days: when you get out of your car, the camera focuses on your thighs, and when you sit in the car it focuses on you (pointing backwards). Just because the paparazzi gets a waist shot. They take a shot from behind, which no heroine accepts, but what does the rest need, who will like it? Meanwhile, I say Saw Manjrekar, who worked with us domineering; This made her very anxious. Neha Dhupia fired them. Even my own niece was walking, and this shot was taken from behind. Why? And then they captioned it, ‘Guess who?’,” he said.

After this, Salman explained how the contestants were filmed in the Bigg Boss house. He said the show has 108 cameras but claimed its camera crew does not use them to capture women inappropriately.
He said, “In this show, there are 108 cameras. A cameraman has never taken an unpleasant shot. You guys are always in a compromising position. We will never put a woman down or show anything like that. People call Bigg Boss a controversial, aggressive and challenging show, but it’s not.”
