Bodyguard Yusuf Ibrahim recalls Shah Rukh Khan rebuking fan for taking selfie without permission: ‘They get very little personal time’
Celebrity bodyguard Yusuf Ibrahim recently spoke about an incident where Shah Rukh Khan rebuked a fan for trying to take a selfie with him without permission.

From Shah Rukh Khan’s Ravi Singh to Salman Khan’s Shera, celebrity bodyguards are among the most vital members of a star’s entourage. Recently, celebrity bodyguard Yusuf Ibrahim opened up about the challenges of ensuring stars’ security and shared an incident where Shah Rukh Khan rebuked a fan for trying to take a selfie with him without permission.
Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Yusuf Ibrahim explained, “The media often looks for moments they can catch and make viral. But stars are human too. 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.”
Yusuf also discussed the demands of stardom and the need for fans to be more empathetic. “Fans should understand that stars are human as well. Watching a video and making judgments is easy, but the reality of their lives is much more challenging. Fans will think their life is much easier once they see a star’s life. They work incredibly hard behind the scenes—sitting in makeup for hours, staying under harsh lights for 12 hours straight. In between all this hard work, they get very little personal time. If 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.”
Yusuf Ibrahim has provided security to several A-list celebrities, including Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Ananya Panday
