Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was seen handling an unusual situation with calm and charm at the success party of Raja Shivaji in Mumbai on Wednesday, May 20. The superstar addressed and accepted apologies from paparazzi who had previously irritated him outside Hinduja Hospital during a personal emergency. Rather than reacting angrily at the event, Salman acknowledged the photographers and even managed to turn the tense moment into a lighthearted interaction. The incident quickly became a viral moment as fans celebrated the actor’s ability to remain composed and humorous despite the earlier upset.
Salman Khan’s playful moment
The interaction was marked by smiles, jokes and friendly gestures which highlighted Salman’s approachable aura. Photographers repeatedly said “Sorry bhai bhai sorry” and the actor responded by playfully asking them to apologise louder while posing for pictures with Riteish Vilasrao Deshmukh, who hosted the celebration.
What triggered the paparazzi apology?
The apology from photographers followed an earlier incident outside Hinduja Hospital on May 19. Videos from that day showed Salman visibly agitated as several photographers crowded the area during a critical personal situation. Reports indicate that the paparazzi first clicked pictures when Salman’s vehicle stopped at a traffic signal and then followed him to the hospital.
Upon exiting the facility Salman asked them to maintain distance and remain silent, questioning how they would feel if a close family member were undergoing treatment in a hospital. These actions prompted the photographers to approach him the next day at the success party with formal apologies.

The actor’s playful teasing brought smiles and laughter not just to the photographers but also to fellow attendees including Riteish Deshmukh who hugged Salman affectionately. He also instructed his security team not to block the paparazzi from taking pictures, showing a mix of patience and generosity in his approach.
