Amitabh Bachchan loses cool at paparazzo for filming him outside Mumbai home Jalsa: ‘Mat karo'. Watch
In the undated video that surfaced on social media, he can be seen dressed in a white kurta-pyjama and an off-white shawl, as well as black spectacles, with his mobile phone in one hand. Amitabh was spotted stepping out of his house and getting agitated at the cameraman for filming him. He said, 'Aye, nahi. Ye mat nikalo, band karo (Hey, don't do it, stop it)!' — asking him to stop recording immediately.
In the comments section, many users joked that he was copying his wife Jaya Bachchan, who is known for her public outbursts on the media. Amitabh, in contrast, is known for maintaining a cordial relationship with the media and paparazzi, and hence, his anger was quite unexpected. However, in the past, many celebrities have highlighted similar situations, requesting fans and paps to respect their privacy and ask for their permission before switching on the camera.
