New Delhi - Bodyguards protecting Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on Saturday physically assaulted a reporter outside a hotel in India's western Pune city where they are staying, media reports said.
Indian TV channels showed footage of a bodyguard grabbing the reporter, Sam Relph's throat, outside Hotel Le Meridien and pushing him.
Relph, a reporter with a British news agency, is covering the couple's visit to Indian city.
'I was taking a picture of the couple when one of the bodyguards caught me by neck and squeezed my wind pipe and said that he would kill me, if I took pictures again,' an upset Relph told Times TV.
The bodyguards were angry that security had been breached on Friday when the media managed to take pictures of the couple leaving the hotel.
Jolie and Pitt along with their three children are in Pune for a month-long shoot of the film 'A Mighty Heart'. The movie is based on the real-life story of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl who was assassinated by radical Islamic terrorists in Pakistan.

The reason why these celebrites are making so much money is because of the flashbulbs going off in their faces. They make the decision to make their life public....and to many... it is the only reason why they are famous.
So, the paparazzi dared to take pictures of these so called 'celebs'?
Personally I wouldnt waste my film on such anally retentive people. These same people who one minute demand privacy and the next are talking about their latest film or other inconsequential rubbish to some magazine.
You cant have it both ways!
Insofar as the animal off his lead known as 'security', well Ang' and Brad, I should sack him immediately. He's obviously a liability!
I hope the photographer sues the backside off him for assault.
Mind you, if he had grabbed me by the throat like that then you would have been short of one 'security man' with me sporting a nice pair of cufflinks made from his knackers.....
Privacy for movies stars in a public place? Duh.
Next time the photographer needs to pull a gun out and let the thug have it in his temple..

Why can't the so called papparazzi leave not just Brad and Angelina alone but leave all the rest of the celebrities alone. They have a right to their privacy. It has just gotten out of hand what those idiots are allowed to get away with. Someone needs to kick their butts and then smack the living daylights out of them. These celebrities have a right to their own lives, why should they have to put up with rude and ignorant people taking pictures of them. The courts just need to crack down on all these dumb stupid people. Leave the celebrities alone!!! They have a right to their own time without flashbulbs going off in their faces and even worse taking pictures of their children. Leave them alone!!!!!
It is sad to think these people have to make money by invading the privacy of others. They need to get a real job.....
