Bollywood celebs are often surrounded by their bodyguards and security personnel who make sure they are safe and sound in public. And guards like Yusuf Ibrahim, who have been in the industry for decades and worked with multiple stars, have several stories to share about them. Recently, Ibrahim recalled Shah Rukh Khan scolding a fan for taking a selfie without permission. He also exclaimed, “Fans need to maintain boundaries." Read on!
While talking to Siddharth Kannan, celebrity bodyguard Yusuf Ibrahim went back in time and recalled how Shah Rukh Khan had to reprimand a fan for taking a selfie with him without permission. Ibrahim further shed light on the importance of boundaries when it comes to fans interacting with their stars.
Yusuf explained that the media often looks for moments they can catch and make viral, but the celebrities are human as well. Hence, when someone suddenly barges in for a photo, especially when they might have a different mindset at the time, it’s not acceptable. “Fans need to maintain boundaries and show respect. Instead of rushing in with a phone, they should politely ask if a photo is possible,” he added.
The celebrity bodyguard further stated that watching a viral video about stars and making judgments is easy, but the reality of their lives is much more challenging. One might think that a star’s life is easier, but sitting in makeup for hours, and staying under harsh lights for 12 hours straight isn’t a cakewalk.
And it’s in between all this hard work, that they get very little personal time. Hence, when someone invades that space, especially when they’re exhausted after a long day, it’s natural for anyone to get upset or irritated. “They are human, after all, and reactions like that are understandable,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in King with Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and others.
