Big B’s blog from 2017 talks about him being banned by the media, as if he were responsible. He revealed that they didn’t carry any of his interview pictures despite almost all his films becoming hits. He revealed that they put their cameras down as soon as his arrival at an award function or other event was announced.
Big B shared, “Nothing was ever printed or written about me .. no coverage of any of my films or my works .. and no pictures if I was to attend a function. The photographers would put down their cameras on the platform where I stood and so long as I was there, they protested and never took a single photograph .. if there were to be a credit title description of a film .. for eg., say ‘Nastik’ .. it would be Hema Malini, (,) and Pran .. I was the comma in the film and so on ..”
