Superstar Salman Khan had a heated moment with paparazzi on Tuesday night after photographers followed him and shouted 'Maatrubhumi' while he was visiting someone at a hospital in Mumbai.
The actor lashed out at the photographers and asked if they had 'lost their minds'. Soon after the incident drew online attention, Salman addressed the matter on social media, slamming the invasion of his privacy and saying he has not forgotten how to fight.
Salman was spotted visiting someone at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai, where he appeared visibly upset and lost his cool with the paparazzi as he stepped off the premises.
The photographers first spotted Salman when his vehicle halted at a traffic signal, following which they trailed him to the hospital. As the actor stepped out of the premises later, a few photographers began shouting 'Bhai, bhai, Maatrubhumi!', referring to his upcoming film, in an attempt to grab his attention.
Salman lost his cool at that point, lashing out at the photographers and asking, 'Pagal ho gaye ho?' while making a gesture towards his forehead in visible anger.
He then walked towards the photographers and questioned how they would feel if one of their own family members was admitted to the hospital. The photographers were then heard apologising to him.
Salman took to Instagram to react to the viral clips of him losing his cool and questioned the behaviour of the photographers.
'If I see any press at a hospital enjoying my pain. The press that I have stood for interacted with taken care made sure that they also earn their bread n butter,' Salman wrote as a caption with one image of his.
He went on to slam the photographers for shouting the name of his film outside the hospital, saying that if they want to make money off his losses and personal moments, the least they can do is show some sensitivity instead of enjoying the situation.
Salman warned photographers against exploiting emotional situations for content and reminded them that, despite his age, he still knows how to fight back.
