Salman Khan is not one to hold back from calling a spade a spade. And that was amply on display recently as he blasted trolls and paps on an episode of the reality show he hosts.
Now, on the opening episode of Koffee With Karan’s final season, he has again addressed his problem with the paparazzi making actors, especially female actors, uncomfortable with certain angles.
He told Karan, “Jab se yeh PR aa gaya hai… some people pay them for sightings. Then there are airport looks. People want to do that stuff. I was speaking not for them, but for those who don’t want to do it. There are really bad angles, girls are uncomfortable. Jisne yeh phone banaya hai na, aur phone mein camera lagaya, voh agar kahi mujhe mil gaya na! Hum sabki zindagi barbaad kar di hai. This always used to bother me. ‘Guess who’ (karte hain pap pages on Instagram)- kahaan se guess karein?”
Karan then went on to mention how 2026 will witness films starring all major A-listers releasing- Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman himself. That they all brought in huge numbers also cements it further that this generation of actors is still the one holding the fort, the filmmaker-host added.
On this, Salman quipped, “We (our generation) are interested in our work. We want to get out of our houses, do good work. Sometimes, it turns out right, sometimes it does not. The films that we make are films that every Hindustani would be comfortable to see with the whole family. With most of my films, I see a vision, how they are going to turn out. If the director doesn’t see that, that’s where the gadbad happens.”
