Bollywood actor Salman Khan has expressed anger over the tendency of some paparazzi to photograph actresses in uncomfortable or inappropriate poses under the pretext of taking pictures.
He also spoke out against online trolling and the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI), saying stricter controls are needed in such cases.
Salman discussed the issues recently during the ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode of the television reality show Bigg Boss 20. He also criticised personal attacks, body shaming and age-related trolling on social media.
Salman said an environment has been created where people feel free to say whatever they want about others. According to him, trolling has become a business, with many things being done deliberately.
The actor also addressed the behaviour of paparazzi, particularly their tendency to photograph actresses in uncomfortable or inappropriate poses. He said photographing someone in a disrespectful manner or circulating such pictures should not be considered acceptable.
Salman also spoke about his own experience with the misuse of AI technology. He said fake videos of him are created and circulated despite having no connection to him.
He stressed the need for stricter controls over such content and said he takes the issue seriously.
According to Salman, people should be more responsible when using social media and should consider the potential impact of their comments before insulting or humiliating someone.
Concerns have grown in the entertainment industry over the creation of fake images and deepfake videos of celebrities using AI. Salman has previously spoken out against online trolling, body shaming and violations of celebrities’ privacy on several episodes of Bigg Boss 20.
