‘Salman bhai ne bola na...’: Farah Khan slams paparazzi for bad angles
Filmmaker Farah Khan reminded photographers not to take inappropriate shots, citing Salman Khan's recent warning against uncomfortable angles.
Filmmaker and renowned choreographer Farah Khan has taken a firm stand against the paparazzi's habit of capturing uncomfortable shots of celebrities. During a recent outing in Mumbai, the director made it clear that photographers need to respect personal boundaries and avoid taking pictures from inappropriate angles.
Farah Khan backs Salman Khan's warning
While interacting with photographers, Farah Khan appeared unimpressed by their sudden presence. When the media personnel informed her they were there to take her pictures, she immediately set a boundary. She specifically reminded them of a recent statement made by superstar Salman Khan regarding the intrusive ways photographers often capture female stars.
“Salman bhai ne bola na peeche se nahi lene ka, turn karo, turn karo,” Farah was heard telling the photographers, essentially telling them to turn around and take proper shots instead of focusing on them from behind.
The controversy behind the camera
Farah's reaction follows a heated moment from Bigg Boss 20, where Salman Khan voiced his disgust over how the paparazzi treat female celebrities. The actor had called out the industry for a lack of respect and a problematic mentality.
During the show, Salman highlighted several issues regarding how actresses are photographed, noting:
- Photographers frequently focus on "hip shots" or shots of legs.
- There is a trend of taking shots from behind and using clickbait captions like "Can you guess who this is?"
- Many female celebrities feel deeply uncomfortable with these specific angles.
Salman had even gone as far as to advise women to stand up for themselves when faced with such "disgusting" behavior, questioning the mindset of people who prioritize a controversial shot over the dignity of the person they are filming.
