Mumbai: Actor Salman Khan lost his cool and strongly criticised paparazzi behaviour after photographers followed him outside Mumbai’s Hinduja Hospital and repeatedly called out his name to draw attention.
Following the incident, the actor took to social media around 2 am on Wednesday to share a series of posts expressing his disappointment over paparazzi culture around hospitals and urging people not to turn personal suffering into public content.
In his posts, Salman said he has always supported the media but objected to what he described as attention-seeking during emotionally difficult moments.
He also warned that he has “not forgotten how to fight” while reacting to the situation.
On Tuesday night, Salman visited the Hinduja Hospital, and when he was leaving the premises, paparazzi repeatedly called out “Bhai, Bhai,” which left him visibly upset.
The actor asked the paps to remain quiet near the hospital and questioned whether they would behave in the same way if one of their own family members was admitted there.

Following the incident, Salman took to his Insta handle and wrote, “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 (sic).”
“But if they wanna make money from my losses. Keep quiet don’t enjoy. bhai bhai bhai matrabhumi picture ki maaa ki aankh, pic imp hai ya life (Pics more important than life) (sic),” he wrote in another post.
The actor added, “Aise main sau jala doonga. Bhai k ek bhai k dukh par agli baar try kar lena mere sath. Buss try kar lena. Jab bhi tumhara koi hospital mai hoga kya mai aisa react karoonga (In such a situation, I will go to any extent and won’t hesitate to take strong action. Next time, try this with me over someone’s pain or suffering. Just try it. When someone from your own family is in the hospital, will I react the same way) (sic)?”
In another strongly worded message, Salman warned, “Saath saal ka ho gaya hoon lekin ladna nahiin bhoola yeh yaad rakh lena, jail mein dalo ge haaa haar (I’m 60-years-old, but I haven’t forgotten how to fight – remember that. Even if you put me in jail) (sic).”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman is currently busy with his upcoming project ‘Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace’, helmed by Apoorva Lakhia.
The film also features Chitrangada Singh as the female lead.
Salman is also shooting for Dil Raju and Vamshi Paidipally’s upcoming project, tentatively titled as SVC63, alongside Nayanthara.
