# Arbaaz Khan walks off after Salman question at Mumbai event

2026-10-03T21:51:24+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk

Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Arbaaz Khan attended a jewellery brand event in Mumbai on Friday, October 2, where he walked away after a reporter asked about his brother Salman Khan's recent comments on Bigg Boss 20. The actor initially posed for photos and answered questions, but when the topic shifted to Salman's remarks about paparazzi, he said 'Excuse me... Thank you, thank you' and left. He later turned back and asked whether the question was related to jewellery or the event. Salman Khan had called out photographers during a recent Bigg Boss 20 episode for clicking celebrities from unflattering angles, saying they should be slapped. Arbaaz's last film was 'Bihu Attack', released in 2026.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The two outlets cover the same event, but odishabytes.com reports the question was about Salman's comments on paparazzi, while mid-day.com says it was about trolling. Both frame the incident as Arbaaz avoiding the question. Neither outlet adopts a pro-government or critical stance on any political issue, the coverage is uniform straight reporting of a celebrity interaction. The difference in describing the question's subject does not change the core event: Arbaaz ended the interaction and questioned the relevance of the query to the event.
