Bollywood actor Salman Khan found himself in a heated encounter with paparazzi outside Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai recently. The actor had come to visit a friend but was met with an overwhelming presence of photographers who began shouting the title of his upcoming film, Maatrubhumi, as he entered the hospital.
Initially, Salman maintained his composure, ignoring the cameras as he made his way inside. However, the mood shifted dramatically when he left the hospital later. The photographers, eager for attention, started calling out, “Bhai, bhai, Maatrubhumi!” in an attempt to get his reaction.
Clearly agitated, Salman snapped back, asking, “Pagal ho gaye ho?” while gesturing towards his head in frustration. The tension escalated as he confronted the photographers, questioning how they would feel if one of their own family members were admitted to a hospital.
The incident quickly garnered attention on social media, with videos of Salman’s confrontation going viral. Following the uproar, he took to Instagram to express his discontent with the paparazzi culture, particularly regarding sensitive situations like hospital visits. He shared a post stating, “If I see any press at a hospital enjoying my pain. The press that I have stood for interacted with taken care made sure that they also earn their bread n butter.”
