What Happened At The Hospital
Salman Khan was visiting someone at Mumbai's Hinduja Hospital when paparazzi followed him. As he exited the premises, some photographers reportedly began shouting "Bhai Bhai" and the name of his upcoming film 'Maatrubhumi' to grab his attention.
Visibly irritated, Salman scolded the paparazzi and gestured towards his forehead, asking, "Pagal ho gaye ho kya?" (Have you gone crazy?) He also questioned how they would feel if a family member of theirs was admitted to the hospital. In the viral video, the actor is seen gesturing angrily while confronting the photographers. They were then heard apologizing to him.

Following up with another post, Salman gave a stern warning and added, "Aise main sau jala doonga.Bhai k ek bhai k dukh par agli baar try kar lena mere sath.Buss try kar lena ….
Jab bhi tumhara koi hospital mai hoga kya mai aisa react karoonga ?" (I'll burn a hundred of you down like this. Next time, try doing this with the pain of one of my brothers. Just try it…When someone from your family is in the hospital, will I react the same way?).
He then posted another selfie and captioned it, "Saath saal ka ho gaya hoon lekin ladna nahiin bhoola yeh yaad rakh lena, jail mein dalo ge haaa haaa." (I have turned 60 years old, but I haven't forgotten how to fight. Keep that in mind, and sure, put me in jail.) The superstar made it clear that he expects basic decency and boundaries, especially outside hospitals. His posts have sparked widespread discussion online about the recent invasive paparazzi behaviour.
