Salman Khan vows to curb unauthorized paparazzi photos of actresses

Bollywood veteran Salman Khan has publicly declared his intent to address the growing problem of paparazzi snapping actresses without their consent. In a recent statement, the actor expressed concern that invasive photography not only violates personal privacy but also creates a hostile environment for female talent in the industry.

Khan said he will explore legal avenues, including filing complaints with law enforcement and seeking intervention from film‑industry bodies such as the Cine & TV Artists Association. He urged photographers to respect consent and warned that repeat offenders could face penalties under existing privacy statutes.

The announcement has drawn mixed reactions. While many fellow actors and industry insiders praised the move as a step toward safeguarding women’s dignity, some media representatives cautioned that enforcing such measures could be challenging given the lack of clear guidelines on paparazzi conduct in India.

The issue reflects a broader debate about the balance between press freedom and personal privacy in the Indian entertainment sector, where high‑profile shoots often attract aggressive photo‑journalists seeking exclusive shots for tabloids and digital platforms.
