Salman Khan has raised an important issue about the way actresses are photographed by paparazzi.
Salman Khan has raised an important issue about the way actresses are photographed by paparazzi. The actor spoke about the topic during the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar. His comments focused on privacy, respect and the way women celebrities are sometimes photographed in public.
During the discussion, Salman spoke about how some photographers deliberately take pictures of actresses from uncomfortable angles. He particularly mentioned photographs taken when actresses are getting out of cars. According to him, some paparazzi focus and zoom in on parts of a woman’s body instead of taking normal photographs.
Salman questioned why such pictures are needed and why they are later shared widely on social media. He also spoke about how celebrities are constantly judged for their looks, bodies and age.
The actor said that women should not remain silent when photographers cross their limits. While making his point, Salman used the words "ghoom ke chaata maaro", suggesting that actresses should strongly object if someone deliberately takes an inappropriate photograph.
Salman also connected the discussion to women from his own family. This made the subject more personal for him. He wanted people to understand that celebrities are also entitled to personal space and dignity.
The actor has previously spoken about online trolling and body-shaming. During the same conversation, he discussed how women often face comments about their appearance, including criticism after pregnancy. His remarks have attracted attention because body-shaming and unwanted photography have become common topics on social media.
Paparazzi culture is a major part of the entertainment industry. Photographers regularly follow celebrities to capture pictures for news websites and social media platforms. However, the debate becomes different when photographs are taken in a way that makes the person uncomfortable or focuses unnecessarily on their body.
