Film Fraternity comes out in Salman Khan’s Defense

Superstar Salman Khan is banned by the media, it happened during the promo event of a Kick. The photographers asked Khan to pose which he declined. Later a Fracas took place between media personnel and the stars security personnel. Now film fraternity has come out in Salman’s defence while requesting the situation be resolved amicably.

Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan said, “I’ve never defended my children before. But I feel that the photographers should maintain decorum. Ask the celebrity to stand, and he will comply. It’s an honour for us to be clicked. But, they (photographers) are always pushing, running ahead of the actor, jumping onto cars. That creates nuisance.”

Many other stars shared their own experiences. Kangana Ranaut said, “In my experience, the photographers sometimes show uncourteous behaviour. They even scare you with their screams and comments such as ‘Aye, hat ja…’. They even push. I don’t have bouncers or bodyguards. So it becomes a little bit uncomfortable that way. I wish they could display a little bit of gentleness and be nicer.”

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt went for a conciliatory note.“Conflict doesn’t benefit anyone. With the ban, the photographers have registered their protest. But, if photographers don’t click pictures of a superstar like Salman, the organisers will arrange for the images and send them across. It’s not like the papers won’t carry them. Both parties should meet and come to a solution.”

Actor Imran Khan said “Situations like these are always volatile. But I think a celebrity must take the onus upon themselves, and calm the situation. Your manager or security’s voice may go unheard, and the chaos may continue, but if you interfere, you will be heard. Interacting with the photographers helps, and I personally do that.”
