Salman Khan is all set to return as the host of Bigg Boss 20 and was spotted on the sets while shooting for the premiere episode. However, the actor seemed visibly irritated when paparazzi came close to the stage and continued asking him to pose for pictures.

Salman Khan loses cool at paps

A video circulating on social media shows Salman Khan interacting with the paparazzi while posing for pictures. However, the actor also asked the photographers to maintain some distance from the stage. "Yeh mera kaam nahi hai. Mujhe camera ke aage aane ki koi zarurat nahi hai (This is not my job, I don't need to come in front of the camera)," Salman told the paps. Later, when they continued requesting him to pose for more photographs, the actor appeared visibly irritated and responded, "Photos…photos..photos."

Salman opted for a unique Western-inspired cowboy look featuring a dark brown leather cowboy hat. He completed the look with a navy T-shirt under an olive-green vest, with denims and a silver-accented belt. After posing solo, Salman even posed with the paps and the crew of Bigg Boss 20.

Talking about Bigg Boss season 20, the show is all set to commence on September 6. In a press statement, the actor expressed excitement for the season. The makers have reportedly introduced the theme "Vardaan", along with a two-house format. Reports suggest contestants could have another chance to remain in the competition even after moving to a second house. Among the names reported to participate are Mahhi Vij, Faissal Khan, Isha Rikhi, Khushi Dubey, Aman Gandhi, Geeta Basra, Amrapali Dubey and Aasif Khan.

When Salman warned paps

This incident comes months after Salman blasted paps as they hounded him at the hospital in May. The controversy began when Salman was spotted outside the hospital and photographers allegedly followed him while continuously calling out his name and trying to click pictures. Videos circulating on social media showed the actor visibly upset as he urged paparazzi members to stop shouting near the medical facility.

Soon after the incident, Salman shared a series of emotional Instagram posts addressing the matter directly. In his strongly worded messages, the actor said he had always supported the media fraternity and ensured photographers earned their "bread and butter." He later accepted the paparazzi's apology at the Raja Shivaji success party.
