Arbaaz Khan found himself in an awkward paparazzi interaction in Mumbai after photographers asked him about his brother Salman Khan’s recent comments on online trolls. Instead of answering the question, Arbaaz chose to walk away, briefly saying, “Excuse me... Thank you,” before ending the interaction.
The moment, which took place at a Mumbai event on October 2, has since attracted attention online. The incident comes days after Salman Khan spoke openly on Bigg Boss 20 about online trolling, body-shaming and the way paparazzi photograph celebrities.
Arbaaz Khan Avoids Question About Salman Khan
Arbaaz Khan was attending an event at The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake when photographers approached him. During the interaction, a paparazzo asked him about Salman Khan’s recent remarks concerning trolls.
Arbaaz did not respond to the question. Instead, he politely said, “Excuse me... Thank you, thank you,” and began walking away.
The brief response immediately caught the attention of those present because the question was directly related to his brother Salman and comments that had recently become a topic of discussion.
Arbaaz Later Asked About the Question
The interaction did not end immediately after Arbaaz walked away.
According to videos and reports from the event, the actor-producer later turned back and asked whether the question was connected to the event he was attending.
He reportedly asked the paparazzo whether the question was related to the jewellery event, suggesting that he may have expected questions specifically about the occasion rather than Salman Khan.
Arbaaz then questioned why he was being asked about a different subject. No further clarification about his reaction has been given by the actor.
Why Was Salman Khan’s Comment Being Discussed?
The question came after Salman Khan recently addressed online trolls and paparazzi behaviour during Bigg Boss 20.
During the show, Salman spoke about the trolling faced by celebrities, including comments targeting their appearance, weight, age and personal circumstances. He also discussed the way some female celebrities are photographed from uncomfortable angles.
His remarks generated considerable discussion on social media and were followed by several developments involving Bollywood celebrities and paparazzi.
Salman Khan Had Spoken About Online Trolling
Salman Khan's comments were not limited to one specific celebrity.
During a recent Bigg Boss 20 episode, he criticised people who use social media to make personal comments about celebrities. He spoke about body-shaming and comments directed at women after pregnancy, as well as criticism of celebrities' appearance and professional careers.
The actor's comments subsequently became a wider entertainment-industry talking point.
Arbaaz was asked about the subject because of his close family connection with Salman, but he chose not to comment publicly during the event.
Salman Khan Also Addressed Paparazzi Behaviour
Apart from online trolls, Salman also spoke about the way photographers sometimes capture female actors.
He specifically objected to photographs taken from behind without the subject's comfort or consent. He referred to instances involving actresses and his niece Alizeh Agnihotri while discussing the issue on Bigg Boss 20.
His remarks were followed by further conversations around the relationship between Bollywood celebrities and paparazzi.
Interestingly, Salman himself was later seen posing for photographers at a Mumbai recording studio, showing that his relationship with the paparazzi had not completely broken down following his comments.
Arbaaz Khan’s Reaction Goes Viral
The short interaction involving Arbaaz has now become another viral celebrity moment.
Unlike a heated confrontation, Arbaaz did not engage in a lengthy argument with the photographer. He simply ended the interaction and walked away before returning briefly to question whether the query was connected to the event.
The absence of a detailed response has also left the exact reason for his decision unclear. As of now, there has been no official explanation from Arbaaz Khan about why he chose not to answer the question.
Arbaaz Khan Continues to Stay in the Spotlight
Arbaaz Khan has remained active as an actor, producer and television personality. Being part of the Khan family also means that his public appearances frequently attract questions about Salman Khan and other members of the family.
However, this particular interaction shows that Arbaaz does not necessarily engage with every question about his brother when appearing at public events.
His latest reaction has once again highlighted the increasingly complicated relationship between celebrities and paparazzi, particularly when professional event appearances turn into questions about unrelated personal or family matters.
What Happened at the Mumbai Event?
In short, Arbaaz Khan was approached by photographers at a Mumbai event and was asked about Salman Khan's comments on trolls. He declined to answer, said “Excuse me” and “Thank you,” and walked away.
He later returned briefly to ask whether the question was related to the jewellery event.
The incident has since circulated online, but Arbaaz has not publicly explained his decision to avoid the Salman-related question.
For now, the viral moment remains a brief but much-discussed exchange between a Bollywood celebrity and the paparazzi.
