Salman Khan used a Mumbai press conference for the IIFA 2027 awards to repeat his objection to photographs taken from inappropriate angles.

Salman Khan asked photographers at a Mumbai IIFA 2027 event to respect boundaries. The awards are set for January 22-23 in Abu Dhabi.

Salman Khan paused for the cameras at an IIFA 2027 press conference in Mumbai with a reminder for photographers: respect celebrities’ boundaries while taking pictures.

“Peeche ka yaad rakh lena, itni izzat to de hi sakte ho sab log,” he said, referring to his earlier comments against photographs taken from behind or from angles he described as inappropriate.

Khan had raised the issue on an episode of *Bigg Boss 20* in September, saying photographers should distinguish between people comfortable with such images and those who have asked not to be photographed that way.

The Mumbai event announced the 27th IIFA Weekend Awards, to be held on January 22 and 23 at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Varun Dhawan and Ananya Panday are set to host the ceremony, joined by Karan Johar and Manish Paul. Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Janhvi Kapoor are expected to perform. Varun Dhawan has also spoken about IIFA 2027.
