Mumbai: Salman Khan reportedly lost his cool while shooting the premiere episode of ‘Bigg Boss 20’ on Friday evening.
The actor appeared visibly annoyed when paparazzi repeatedly asked him to pose for the cameras. The situation escalated after some of the shutterbugs addressed him as “baba”.
“Baba? Yeh tera 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),” Salman said.
As the paparazzi continued urging him to pose, the actor appeared increasingly irritated and responded, “Photos… photos… photos.”

Earlier in the day, Salman shared a glimpse of the ‘Bigg Boss 20’ sets on Instagram.
The actor posted a four-picture carousel, keeping his caption characteristically brief with just “#BiggBoss20”. The photographs showed him posing in front of a massive golden installation featuring the number 20.
For the ‘Bigg Boss 20’ premiere, Salman opted for a fitted black T-shirt paired with dark trousers and a grey waistcoat. He completed the look with a black cowboy hat.
In the first two pictures, the actor posed beside the oversized “20” installation, while the remaining shots showed him standing inside the zero of the giant number.
According to a report by ABP Marathi, Salman has reportedly been offered a staggering Rs 120 crore for the entire season of ‘Bigg Boss 20’. However, there has been no official confirmation of his reported remuneration so far.
Salman began hosting Bigg Boss with its fourth season in 2010, when he was reportedly paid around Rs 2.5 crore per episode. His remuneration has increased significantly over the years.
For ‘Bigg Boss 19’, which was won by actor Gaurav Khanna, Salman was reportedly paid around Rs 100 crore for the season.
‘Bigg Boss 20’ is set to premiere on September 6, 2026. The reality show will stream on JioHotstar at 9 pm and will also air on Colors TV at 10:30 pm.
