In the episode of Bigg Boss in September, Salman called out photographers for clicking actresses inappropriately and warned of strict action against them. During his appearance on Koffee With Karan 9, Salman spoke about PR culture and how girls are uncomfortable with such back shots. He also criticised the obsession with phone cameras, saying they have ruined everyone’s lives.
Salman Khan on paparazzi culture
“Since this PR has come, there are some people who pay the PR for their sighting or whatever that is called. Airport look, etc. There are some who want to do that stuff. I was not speaking about those kinds of people. I was speaking for those people who don’t want it. There are really bad angles, and girls are uncomfortable.”
“Jisne yeh phone banaya hai na, aur phone mein camera lagaya, voh agar kahi mujhe mil gaya na! Hum sabki zindagi barbaad kar di hai” (Whoever invented this phone and put a camera in it, if I ever run into them, I swear! They have ruined all our lives). “This always used to bother me. ‘Guess who?’ From what should be guess?” he asked.
Salman Khan on going shirtless during Bigg Boss
KJo also recalled Salman angrily removing his T-shirt during Bigg Boss as people commented on his appearance and trolled. When asked how Salman stays fit at 61, the Sikandar actor replied, “A lot of hard work. A lot of sacrifices. I just added a lot of good things to my life and reduced every bad thing. For the people who have been die-hard fans of shirtless me, okay, there was a phase in my life because of a lot of injuries and stuff like that. It was unfair on them. No matter how old you are, it is unfair on them to see me like that. My head was broken, some hernia stuff was there. My shoulder was messed up. And all this came from Sultan. Knee and back, and then trigeminal neuralgia, then the aneurysm. That is not any justification for how I was looking. I should not have let go for that time.”
Workwise, Salman will next be seen in Monster with Nayanthara. The film is all set to release on Eid 2027. He also has Maatrubhumi in his pipeline, which is in limbo due to a delay in CBFC certification.
Talking about Koffee With Karan, it premieres on The Peacock Hub on JioHotstar.
