'Some pay them and ask them to take certain photos': Salman Khan
He said, "Some women and some guys call them there, pay for them to be there, and ask them to do this. So what can the paps also do then? The differentiation is between those who want and those who don’t want it."
"Those who are okay with it can continue, but those not okay, should not be troubled. So when you girls come there and ask them not to click a photo a certain way, after that, if they do so, then I shall deal with them," he further added.
In the last Weekend ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan had called out photographers for clicking female celebrities inappropriately.
He had said, "And then the one shot they take from behind, which none of the heroines like? There must be a few who say it’s okay, I don’t mind it. But what about those who don’t like it? When this happens, turn around and slap them. Ask them to click their mother or sister like this and show it to you. Disgusting people."
