Bollywood industry and media go hand in hand. They exist in a symbiotic setup, wherein both are dependent on each other for their existence. However, there are times when this symbiotic relationship sees ups and down in the form of media boycott, fights, etc. There are umpteen incidents when Bollywood celebrities ran amok with media personnel for their absurd questions (mostly) or rumour-mongering reports.
Let’s have a look at incidents when media and Bollywood celebrities were at loggerheads with each other.
1. Salman Khan
When Salman Khan was questioned about the credibility of his philanthropic venture Being Human, the actor walked out of the conference. The reporter accused him of trying to whitewash his image by starting a non-profit organization. Responding to the allegations, Salman Khan said,
“Do you have any idea of the amount of work we do at Being Human? We do shit loads of work on a daily basis. I haven’t even put my name there, man. I’m not even on the Board, or any of the trustees. The idea is that years from now, people should forget who even started the foundation. You have no idea, man. Do one thing: Come and live my life for one day.”
2. Hrithik Roshan
When Hrithik Roshan visited Shirdi before the release of his film Kites, he was mobbed by paparazzi for pictures. Even after refusal, they continued to click pictures. He lost his temper and pushed one of the paparazzi out of the temple by grabbing him by his neck.

4. Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor gets in trouble with media more so often. He easily loses his cool when it comes to his privacy. Once when he was leaving a restaurant after a dinner, he was mobbed by photojournalists.
