In a recent Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan slammed photographers for the infamous ‘hip‑and‑behind’ shots that make actresses uncomfortable—he warned that only a handful still ignore the rule.
Farah Khan, known for her choreography and now a Netflix host, didn’t let the moment slip. When a camera crew shadowed her into a Mumbai building, she spun, quoted Salman’s line, and demanded the cameras stop—“Salman Bhai ne bola na piche se shot nahi lena?”—and the crowd gasped.
The clip blew up instantly. Fellow actors, including Saiee and Mahesh Manjrekar’s daughter, chimed in, echoing the call for respect. Even Neha Dhupia’s niece was caught in the fray, turning the debate into a social media frenzy.
Industry insiders note that seasoned paparazzi still thrive, but a younger cohort is taking cues from the star‑backed warning. Some say this could quietly reshape how Bollywood is covered, turning the spotlight from behind to the front.
Farah’s influence isn’t limited to choreography. Her YouTube channel has millions of views, and with Riteish Deshmukh joining her Netflix hosting team next season, she wields a platform that could push a new etiquette code for paparazzi.
What’s next? Bollywood may quietly draft a new code of conduct, but for now the paparazzi are being told to drop the behind shots. The audience is watching, the debate is alive, and the stars are calling the shots.
