Bollywood actor Salman Khan has warned paparazzi photographers and digital platforms of strict action over the continued practice of taking photographs of actresses from behind without their consent. The actor raised the issue again during an episode of the reality show Bigg Boss 20, saying his earlier warnings had not stopped the practice. He expressed concern that such photographs were being taken more frequently despite celebrities raising objections.

Salman addressed the matter after actress Neha Dhupia thanked him for speaking out against intrusive photography. Responding to her, he said photographers needed to recognise that not every celebrity was comfortable with such pictures. While some individuals may agree to being photographed in this manner, he stressed that the wishes of those who object must be respected.

The actor also alleged that some celebrities, including men and women, invite paparazzi and pay them to take specific photographs. However, he maintained that this did not justify photographing other people against their wishes. Salman said photographers should distinguish between individuals who consent to such pictures and those who have clearly expressed their discomfort.

Warning that the practice could have consequences, Salman said photographers should respect requests to stop taking such pictures. He added that the situation had worsened rather than improved since he first spoke about it on the show. The actor also expressed concern that some major digital platforms continued to publish such photographs, indicating that his response would extend beyond individual photographers.

Salman had previously raised the issue during a September 2026 episode of Bigg Boss 20 while speaking to actress Mahhi Vij. He criticised photographers who deliberately focus on actresses' bodies or take intrusive photographs when they enter or leave vehicles. During that discussion, he referred to an incident involving actress Saiee Manjrekar and another involving his niece, questioning why such images were taken when the individuals concerned were uncomfortable.

The actor's renewed warning has brought attention back to questions of consent, privacy and the responsibilities of celebrity photographers and media platforms. His comments underline the distinction between public figures being photographed at public events and images being taken in ways they have explicitly objected to. By promising stronger action, Salman has indicated that he intends to continue challenging the practice and urging photographers to respect personal boundaries.
