Amitabh Bachchan has voiced his displeasure at the growing lack of boundaries in the entertainment industry, especially after the recent incident involving Dharmendra’s leaked hospital video. The 89-year-old veteran actor, who was admitted to a Mumbai hospital last week, had a private and emotional moment recorded without consent. The clip quickly went viral, sparking widespread criticism of the paparazzi and raising questions about media ethics.
A day after Sunny Deol publicly condemned photographers and called them “shameless,” Amitabh posted a sharp and cryptic message on X, saying, “T 5564 – no ethics… Koi bhi achaar-niti nahi.”
Although he did not mention anyone directly, his statement was widely interpreted as a reaction to the ongoing invasion of the Deol family’s privacy.
The megastar also took to his blog to further express his disappointment. He wrote, “No ethics … no sense of responsibility … just an avenue of personal gain, without any consideration of the moment … Disturbing and disgusting.” His words reflected frustration not only with the leaked video but with the growing trend of constant scrutiny faced by celebrities and their families.
Social media users quickly connected Amitabh’s remarks to the outrage surrounding Dharmendra’s privacy breach. Many echoed his sentiments, criticising the paparazzi and commenting on how public values and sensitivity seem to be fading. Some pointed out how Jaya Bachchan has often spoken against such behaviour, while others supported Sunny Deol’s recent comments.
The incident has reopened a larger discussion on media responsibility and the need for respecting personal boundaries, especially during moments of vulnerability.
