The interaction came shortly after his comments during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20, which aired on September 20, 2026.

During his discussion on the reality show, Salman questioned the ethics behind such photography and advised actresses to stand up to photographers who cross boundaries. He specifically referred to incidents involving his Dabangg 3 co-star Saiee Manjrekar, actress Neha Dhupia and his niece Alizeh Agnihotri.
His remarks, including his description of such practices as “disgusting”, received considerable attention on social media and across the entertainment industry.

Salman has previously voiced his frustration with photographers. Earlier in September, during the shoot for the grand premiere of Bigg Boss 20, which premiered around September 6, 2026, the actor appeared irritated by repeated requests for photographs. He was heard saying, “Yeh mera kaam nahi hai. Mujhe camera ke aage aane ki koi zarurat nahi hai” (This is not my job. I don’t need to come in front of the camera).
In May 2026, Salman also had a heated exchange with photographers outside a hospital after they followed him and called out the name of his upcoming film Maatrubhumi. He later accepted their apology at the success bash of Raja Shivaji, in which he made a cameo. The film was released on May 1, 2026.
