New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan and paparazzi do not share a good relationship. While the megastar, popularly called King of Bollywood, had a cordial relationship with the paps up until a couple of years ago, things changed after the arrest of his son Aryan Khan. Aryan Khan was on every tabloid, headline and was extensively covered and papped by the media during his trial in the rave party case where he was nabbed by the NCB.
Recently, in a podcast, a paparaazi photographer opened up about Shah Rukh Khan not inviting the paps. The photographer is heard saying, "SRK, unko chid hai paji paparazzi se. Kyunki jab Aarya Khan jail mein the to paparazzi ne boht kuch dala unke bare mein. Aur, Shah Rukh sir chahte the ki voh cheezein bahr na aaye.”(RK is annoyed with the paparazzi because when Aarya Khan was in jail, the paparazzi put out a lot about her. And Shah Rukh sir wanted those things to stay outside.)
“Uske pehle ye scene rehta tha ki paparazzi se boht pyaar se bat karte the, lekin unke ladke ke bare mein itna kuch dikhaya, dala, sab videos, jo vo nahi chahte the ki ye sab cheezein bahr aye (Earlier, there used to be a scene where they would talk to the paparazzi very lovingly, but when it came to their son, so much was shown and shared—videos and everything—that they didn't want any of that to come out.)," he added.
