Salman Khan 'banned' by paparazzi; the actor dares them

Recently, Bollywood's new girl Shraddha Kapoor was taught a lesson for her 'High Handedness' by the lensmen in Mumbai.

Shraddha has been ignoring them; at times her manager would block their view and prevent her from being clicked.

So, shutterbugs boycotted the newbie, until Shraddha set up a meeting with a group to clear out the issue.

Now the photographer’s union in Mumbai is miffed with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and his team of security staff.

They have decided to boycott him and the union will take up the issue at a meeting today (Monday).

The lensmen want an apology from the actor and claimed that his security men misbehaved with them.

But looks like Salman will not do a Shraddha.

On Twitter, he posted a newspaper article on the news of ban and mocked at the photographer's call of boycott.

Laughing off the whole issue the actor wrote on Twitter: "This is wat I call a stand, the photographers r gonna loose out on wrk, but hv still taken a decision not to take my pics, happy fr them. (sic)

He further adds: "I wld hv immense respect for them if they keep this stand."

Well, judging by his tweets it seems Salman is arming himself to face the ban but not oblige to the demand of apology.

According to reports, the paparazzi were reportedly mistreated by Salman's team at a promotional event for 'Kick' on Friday.

A leading tabloid in India reported that cameramen present at the event were allegedly roughed up by Salman's personal bodyguards and the venue's security personnel, due to which the fraternity decided to boycott Salman Khan.

The union wants Salman to apologise or else they will not photograph him.

The blackout will continue till July 25 when his film 'Kick' hits theatres. They have decided not to capture candid images of the actor in and around the city.

What added fuel to fire is Salman's earlier statement where he said: "Those who want to cover the event are welcome to stay, the rest can leave if they wish."

Apparently a skirmish ensued after the star refused to pose for the photographers at a particular spot, resulting in a clash that went around for about half an hour.

Salman Khan is always guarded by his own entourage and there have been history where his men got involved in massive chaos and ugly clashes.

The film's producer-director Sajid Nadiadwala chose to stay silent on the matter.
