Now, days later, the actor has seemingly moved on from the controversy after accepting an apology from photographers at the success party of Raja Shivaji. The film, directed by Riteish Deshmukh, has been performing strongly at the box office, and a grand success celebration was recently hosted for the cast and crew.

Salman Khan, who made a special cameo appearance in the movie, attended the event alongside several celebrities. As soon as the paparazzi spotted Salman posing with Riteish, they began apologizing to the actor for the hospital incident. Reacting humorously to the situation, Salman remarked, “Yes, this is the right place.” When the apologies sounded too soft, the actor jokingly urged them to speak louder, saying, “Say ‘sorry’ louder! I can’t hear any of you.”

The photographers then reportedly apologized sincerely, explaining that they had no intention of being disrespectful and admitted that they momentarily forgot they were outside a hospital. In response, Salman Khan calmly explained that he had visited the hospital because the wife of one of his close friends was critically ill. Despite the earlier tension, Salman appeared cheerful at the event and was later seen interacting warmly with photographers while also advising them to remain mindful in sensitive situations.

Fans online praised the actor for eventually forgiving the paparazzi and handling the interaction with humor and maturity. The controversy began when Salman visited Hinduja Hospital on the night of May 19. According to reports, photographers followed him to the hospital and started shouting slogans such as “Bhai! Bhai!” and promoting his upcoming film Matrubhoomi: May Her Rest in Peace in an attempt to grab his attention.

Soon afterward, the actor shared a series of strongly worded posts on Instagram criticizing insensitive behavior around hospitals and emotional situations. In those posts, Salman emphasized that human life and privacy are more important than publicity or film promotions.
