Salman Khan’s Frustrating Standoff with Paparazzi on the Bigg Boss 20 Set

Friday night marked the first day of filming for the new season of Bigg Boss 20, slated to hit Indian television on September 6. The buzz around the show is already intense, but a short video that made rounds on social media showed a different kind of buzz – one that involved the superstar’s patience.

Salman Khan was seen standing in front of the massive golden “20” installation that dominates the set, striking a few poses for the cameras. The atmosphere seemed light‑hearted until a group of photographers, clearly eager to capture the star, began addressing him as “baba”. The term, though meant affectionately, seemed to get under his skin.

“Baba? Yeh tera kaam nahi hai. Mujhe camera ke aage aane ki koi zarurat nahi hai,” Khan muttered, half‑smiling, half‑exasperated. He then added, “Photos…photos…photos,” as the photographers persisted. The clip, shared widely on Instagram and Twitter, shows the actor stepping back, gesturing for the crew to keep a respectful distance from the stage.

Later, the Bollywood icon posted a series of stills on his Instagram account. In the images, he sported a rugged look – dark blue jeans, a plain black round‑neck tee, a brown vest and a matching cowboy hat. The backdrop featured a glittering “20” sign, and in one shot he stood inside a huge, stylised zero, giving fans a sneak peek of the set’s visual theme.

His caption was simple and on‑point: “#BiggBoss20”. Aside from the brief confrontation, the post radiated the confidence that fans have come to expect from the “Bhai”.

Aside from the drama with the paparazzi, speculation about the contestant line‑up continues to swirl. Names like Kushal Tanwar, Isha Rikhi, Rhiya Ahir and Mahhi Vij have been tossed around, though the producers have yet to confirm anyone officially.

With the premiere only a day away, the episode has added another layer of intrigue – both for the show’s storyline and for the ever‑watchful eyes of the media. Whether Salman’s irritation will turn into a memorable moment on the show remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the excitement surrounding Bigg Boss 20 is far from cooling down.
