Amitabh Bachchan’s uncharacteristic flash of irritation outside his residence, Jalsa, has sparked a wave of discussion on social media. The veteran actor, revered for his composed and dignified public image, was caught on camera firmly asking a paparazzo to stop filming him. His words—“Aye, video mat nikalo, band karo!”—delivered with visible agitation, took fans by surprise.
The incident, whose exact date remains unclear, has gone viral, prompting a divided response online. Many fans empathised with Bachchan, pointing out that constant intrusion by paparazzi—even outside his own home—can be overwhelming. Others expressed shock, as this marks a rare moment when the 81-year-old legend appeared to lose his temper in public.
For decades, Bachchan has been admired not just for his iconic screen presence, but also for his consistent humility, especially during his weekly Sunday greetings to fans outside Jalsa. These moments, where he waves or folds his hands in gratitude, have become a beloved ritual for Mumbaikars and admirers from across the globe.
While some argue that this instance was a clear case of a boundary being crossed—possibly during a moment when the actor expected privacy—others speculate whether stress or fatigue might have played a part.
Professionally, Big B was last seen in the sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, where he played the role of Ashwatthama. He is now preparing to return as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, which remains one of the most popular shows on Indian television.
Neither Amitabh Bachchan nor his representatives have issued a statement about the incident yet.
