Photographers ban on Salman continues at Bigg Boss 8 event

Photographers continue to boycott events featuring Salman Khan, as the event on Friday to announce Bigg Boss Season 8 took place without a single cameraman covering the event.

When a journalist asked Salman about photographers boycotting the event, the superstar said “What can I do… I can’t force anyone. I have not stopped them from taking my pics, they have banned me and taken a stand. All I can say is do it quietly, respectfully and not like macchi (fish) market.”

Asked if he would like to meet them and make peace, the actor said “I don’t have a problem, they got angry. I think they should make peace with themselves.”

The ban on Salman was supposed to end with the release of his last film ‘Kick. However, the photographers association decided to continue to boycott his events after Salman, in a series of tweets, asked the photographers to stick to their stand and not cover any of his events.

“This is what I call a stand. The photographers are gonna loose out on work, but have still taken a decision not to take my pics, happy for them. I would have immense respect for them if they keep this stand” the superstar had tweeted July 14.

Not too long ago, Salman’s friend Aamir had tried to end the dispute between Salman and the photographers association. At a charity event, which Aamir was also a part of, the photographers refused to click pictures of Salman. Aamir tried to intervene and asking if he could help sort out the matter. His request was politely declined.

  • Hahaha photographers have not made stars like Salman and others, but its the other way around, the live by clicking and selling these stars’ pics.

    Just like Gutthi came to Kapil’s show, so also wd these guys.

    You dont fight with your livelihood.

  • n a recent interview with Gulf News, his ‘rival’ Salman Khan had an interaction with his fans on Twitter. One of the questions asked was his take on Shah Rukh’s ‘fake’ eight-pack abs.
    To which the actor very sternly replied, “It is not a fake eight-pack. He has become really ripped. In fact that picture that you see is not even a touched up picture, it’s a raw picture. I am really impressed with the way he is looking right now.”
    “He is really fit. Really really fit, and it takes a lot of hard work to get that. I know because I do that kind of hard work, and it takes a lot of hard work to get that ripped. That is not a fake thing at all, that is just a hundred percent genuine.”

  • Actually, it is good for Salman Khan as Bulli has said. He gets some privacy from Paparazzi. Recently, there was a report that Salman was hanging with Jackie around 3AM night. But no one has clicked that. Good for him. Else, once these creepy photographers clicked PC coming out of Salman’s home at 4AM night.
    @Bulli, I pray your wish becomes fulfilled. And no photographer clicks your king smoking in public..

    @Vikram, well this is a funny comparison. But when Salman wishes, Salman cab speak English like an Englishman does. But it is hard for you to understand because he does not speak in paglapur’s slang.
    Well, your English also sucks like your King’s Marathi language does.

    @Nivin Pauly, we know but I tend to disagree. We are free people and we can differ with our bhai as well. He might have said this to save the grace of your king..

  • @vikram, we are seeing many of ur mates knowledge of english including the biggest looser sss khan. At first teach them a,b,c,d then talk about hindi of we salman fans.

  • At the time of kick release the photographers did so much nautanki but Kick bcm ATBB. Now they start these nautanki again but bigg boss will be a super success for sure. Nobody cares their nautanki.

  • how can be so stupid these reporters they are kicking in their own stomach they can,t effect bhai,s stardom even 1/2as bhai can hire his own photographer there are so many jobless people who can be photographer by bhai,s help hahaha…again bhai will do great work by giving job to jobless peoples where as these reporters are going to lose their income.Don,t take panga with biggest superstar of bollywood.

  • eagerly waiting for bigg boss8.As bhai was looking so handsome in the launch of bigg boss8.My god how can anyone manage such great look even in this age true inspiration for all.The most handsome man i have ever seen is none other than salman khan his style his attitude,his dance,his looks are unmatchable.People always go crazy when he appear onbig screen. A Superstar,s superstardom which can,t be matched.

  • The saying ‘biting the hand that feeds you’ feels most applicable here…,

    These photographers or papparazzi need pics of stars to sell to earn monies- and who bigger than Salman Khan- no matter what he does- good or controversial news about him sells so its just ludicrous to think these photographers are not doing their job to the best of their ability…! Most celebs alott alot of time for media to take snaps of them but afew get overzealous- just recently I went to a Rahat Fateh Ali Khan concert in Wembley and the photographers were well behaved but it was afew fans who stepped inside Rahats comfort zone which wasnt nice as he then had to back away from the hundreds of fans who waited patiently to take a selfie with him. These events stars go to are almost always disrupted by overzealous media personnel or afew fans so I dont place any blame on Salman here whatsoever. Let them carry on with their ban as it wont hinder bhais popularity one single bit.

  • @james khan (english babu) aka vikram (desi babu)

    We all know you yourself believe you ae so fluent in both english n hindi that you thought it best if you now have 2 identities here on Indicine so if you want to converse in English you become James Khan and when you want to spout rubbish in hindi you become Vikram… Smart boy but before you start hurling mud at other fan groups about their perceived lack of linguistic fluency take a closer look at home and investigate whether your fellow lungiwaale friend Mr ‘SSS DCBwaale’ speaks any sense whether its in hindi, english, tamil, japanese or paglapurian tongue…!

    I think its safe to say the findings will either amaze you or shock you to your rotten core as to how silly he speaks….!

  • Now Salman can have all the peace in the world without those unmannerly photographers in his face, hats off to you Salman you sure outfoxed them let’s hope the association keeps their stand forever and ever. If the other stars were smart they too would follow Salman but then Salman does not need any photographer his fans takes his pictures and post them on the sites. Now who do you think the winner is and who is the loser. P H O T O G R A P H E R…………..
