Salman’s warm interaction with the paparazzi comes amid a recent controversy involving Jaya Bachchan. In late 2025, the veteran actress faced heavy criticism after stating at a public event that her relationship with paparazzi was “zero.” Her remarks, which included comments on photographers’ clothing and professionalism, were widely labelled as classist and disrespectful.
The controversy escalated when members of the paparazzi community expressed their disappointment and even called for a boycott of the Bachchan family. Social media users also weighed in, calling for more respect and sensitivity in celebrity-media interactions.
