Arbaaz Khan Walks Away From Event After Salman Question

Salman Khan’s remarks specifically addressed online mockery of his brother Sohail Khan’s changing appearance, as well as comments targeting Varun and others. He urged people to consider their own appearance before mocking someone else.
The interaction took place on October 2 at The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake, where Arbaaz had been speaking with photographers before the question was asked.
Salman’s comments were also described as addressing paparazzi behaviour, including intrusive photographs of celebrities, not only online trolling.
Actor Arbaaz Khan abruptly ended a paparazzi interaction at a Mumbai jewelry event on October 2, walking away after being asked about his brother Salman Khan's recent comments on online trolling and body-shaming. iwmbuzz reported that Arbaaz said "Excuse me... Thank you" before turning back to question whether the topic was relevant to the event itself. The moment went viral, raising questions about why Arbaaz declined to engage.
The question stemmed from Salman's remarks on Bigg Boss 20, where he addressed mockery of his brother Sohail Khan's changing appearance and urged people to consider their own looks before criticizing others. news18.com noted that Salman's comments also tackled intrusive paparazzi behavior toward celebrities, not just online trolling. Arbaaz has not publicly explained his reason for walking away from the exchange.
On Bigg Boss 20, Salman Khan spoke directly about the harm of online body-shaming and trolling. bollywoodmascot.com reported that his comments zeroed in on mockery targeting his brother Sohail Khan's physical changes. Salman challenged viewers to examine their own appearance before ridiculing someone else's, making a broader point about the toxicity of online criticism.
Salman's remarks extended beyond social media. newsx.com indicated that he also criticized paparazzi culture itself—the invasive photography and constant surveillance that celebrities face. His call to action addressed both anonymous online critics and the media industry's role in feeding celebrity gossip and scrutiny.
Arbaaz has a reputation for maintaining firm boundaries with reporters. moneycontrol.com noted that the actor-producer was at The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake for a jewelry-focused event when the question arose. Rather than debate his brother's remarks, Arbaaz simply stopped the conversation and asked if the topic had anything to do with why he was there.
His response suggested frustration with being asked off-topic questions during a professional event. By walking away, Arbaaz effectively refused to turn a jewelry launch into a discussion about family drama or media criticism. No official statement from him has clarified whether his silence was meant to avoid the subject or simply to keep the event's focus.
The video of Arbaaz's walkaway circulated rapidly across social media and entertainment websites. news18.com and bollywoodmascot.com both covered the exchange, noting its sudden and dismissive nature. Fans and media outlets debated whether Arbaaz was protecting his brother, avoiding controversy, or simply annoyed at an intrusive question during his professional appearance.
