New Delhi: Megastar Shah Rukh Khan has been avoiding the paparazzi since 2021. The actor has avoided cameras and is often seen hiding under umbrellas and not posing for the media at events and parties. While a rare appearance here and there is often seen, SRK continues to ignore paps. Recently, a paparazzo shared that Shah Rukh Khan has been avoiding the paparazzi because he is angry with the media over his son Aryan Khan’s arrest.
Why SRK has been ingoring paps
For those unaware, Aryan was arrested in October 2021 in a ‘drugs on cruise’ case. He was in police custody for over 22 days. Shah Rukh Khan had visited Aryan in jail. The latter was eventually cleared of his charges and released. Mumbai-based pap Varinder Chawla opened up about Shah Rukh Khan and said that the megastar is ‘mad’ at the media.
“When Pathaan released in 2023, then my team had spotted Shah Rukh Khan and they sent it to me. But, I didn’t like it because it seemed like we were invading his privacy. And SRK seemed angry. Then I made a call to the actor’s PR, informed them about the video my team recorded and told them that I won’t be using it. And apologised to them on behalf of my team for invading their privacy,” he told Hindi Rush in an interaction.
When SRK spoke to Varinder Chawla
“You will not believe me, soon after my call, I quickly received a call from SRK’s manager who first thanked me and then informed me that Shah Rukh wanted to speak to me. I was in shock. From running behind his car to get a glimpse of him to getting a call from him, it seemed too unreal. I said, ‘anytime’. We spoke for over five minutes. After speaking to him, I realised his love for his children, his son Aryan Khan. I too have children, if people went around talking ill and negative things about my children, I too would feel sad. He was so sad, upset back then, we didn’t care about that. We just kept complaining SRK doesn’t give us photos and always hides his face. He is mad at the media for what they did to his son,” Varinder added.
Three years have passed but SRK has barely posed for the media barring a few exceptions when it was unavoidable.
