‘Shah Rukh Khan called me after my team invaded his privacy,’ paparazzo reveals why SRK started avoiding media: ‘I realised his love for his children’ | Bollywood News

Shah Rukh Khan, who has always been known to be a people’s person, shocked his fans after he stopped appearing at media events and avoided getting clicked by Mumbai’s paparazzi. This unusual behaviour of the Pathaan star caught the attention of many, especially his fans. Recently, Mumbai’s paparazzo Varinder Chawla revealed the reason behind Shah Rukh Khan’s behaviour and shared what SRK told him during a small chat.

In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Varinder Chawla recalled an incident after which he received a call from the Main Hoon Na star. He said, “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 added, “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 telling 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 with his son.”

In 2021, Aryan Khan was arrested in the Cordelia Cruise case for alleged possession of narcotics and stayed behind bars for 22 days. He was eventually cleared of all charges.
