Salman Khan stops to pose for photographers in Mumbai days after criticizing intrusive paparazzi practices on Bigg Boss 20.
MUMBAI, September 30, 2026 — Salman Khan has been photographed posing with paparazzi in Mumbai just days after criticizing intrusive celebrity photography on Bigg Boss 20, prompting reports that the actor may have eased tensions with photographers.
Key points
Salman Khan posed for paparazzi outside a Mumbai recording studio on Tuesday night.
The appearance followed his recent criticism of intrusive paparazzi photography on Bigg Boss 20.
Photographers reportedly kept their distance and thanked Khan for posing.
Some reports have described the encounter as a possible reconciliation, but no formal “patch-up” has been confirmed by either side.
Khan’s comments have continued to draw attention to boundaries around celebrity photography.
Khan was spotted outside a recording studio late Tuesday night. Rather than avoiding the cameras, he stopped and posed for photographs before entering the venue. Video from the encounter shows the photographers keeping their distance and thanking the actor for stopping.
The moment came shortly after Khan used a recent Bigg Boss 20 episode to criticize photographers who take what he described as inappropriate shots of women from intrusive angles. He specifically questioned the practice of photographing actresses from behind without their consent and called the behaviour “disgusting.”
That sequence of events has led several entertainment outlets to describe Khan’s latest interaction as a possible reconciliation or “patch-up” with the paparazzi. However, neither Khan nor the photographers have publicly announced that they had formally resolved any dispute. What is confirmed is that Khan chose to stop and pose for them after his earlier criticism.
The exchange also comes as Khan’s comments continue to influence conversations about paparazzi behaviour. Hindustan Times reported on Wednesday that filmmaker Farah Khan had also asked photographers not to capture her from inappropriate angles, explicitly referring to Salman’s earlier remarks.
