Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has strongly criticized paparazzi culture after a video of him losing his temper outside a hospital went viral on social media. Known for staying relatively less active online, the actor has recently been expressing his emotions, anger, pain and affection openly through social media posts.
The controversy erupted after a video surfaced online showing Salman Khan visibly upset with photographers who were allegedly following him and shouting for attention outside a hospital. In the clip, the actor appeared frustrated as paparazzi continued recording despite the sensitive situation.
Following the incident, Salman Khan shared a series of emotional posts on Instagram, questioning the behavior of the media. Sharing a smiling selfie, the actor wrote that it hurt him to see members of the press enjoying someone’s pain despite the support and respect he had always shown them throughout his career.
In another post, Salman said that if people wanted to earn money from his suffering, they should at least remain silent instead of treating it as entertainment. He questioned whether photographs were more important than human life and emotions.
The actor also warned that he would not tolerate such behavior in the future. In one of his strongly worded posts, Salman wrote that if someone from the paparazzi fraternity ever faced a similar situation involving their own family members in a hospital, he would never react in the same insensitive manner.
In his final post, the 60-year-old superstar reminded everyone that age had not weakened his fighting spirit. He stated that despite turning 60, he still knows how to stand up for himself and would not be intimidated by threats or criticism.
The incident has sparked a debate online over celebrity privacy, media ethics and the aggressive behavior of paparazzi during emotionally sensitive moments.
