Salman Khan was spotted at the conclusion of a boxing match held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A video of the event went viral on social media, and in the footage, netizens observed that the Tiger actor appeared to be ignored by footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. This didn’t sit well with Salman Khan’s fans, who expressed disappointment, feeling that Ronaldo snubbed Salman when he was being introduced to various dignitaries present at the event. The now-viral clip also shows Ronaldo walking past Salman without acknowledging him. While some users trolled Salman, others mentioned that Ronaldo, as an international celebrity, is more likely to be recognized than Salman.
One user wrote, “Ronaldo is ignoring #SalmanKhan. Unlucky Ronaldo.”
Another user wrote, “Cristiano Ronaldo with Bollywood’s biggest superstar Salman Khan.”
However, self-proclaimed critic Kamaal Rashid Khan claimed that his sources confirmed the video of Salman’s supposed humiliation was released by Vicky Kaushan as revenge for an incident at the IIFA awards. He took to his social media account and wrote, “According to my sources, the international embarrassment video of Budhaoo (referring to Salman Khan) was released by Kallu Bhai (Vicky Kaushan). Because he wants to take revenge for #IIFA and destroy his film #TigerBuddhaaHai!”
On the work front, Salman is gearing up for the release of his highly-anticipated film, “Tiger 3,” co-starring Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi. Directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra, “Tiger 3” is set to hit theaters on November 12. Additionally, several media reports suggest that Salman will also be seen in “Tiger vs Pathaan” with Shah Rukh Khan. He has other projects in the pipeline, including a film with Sooraj Barjatya and “Kick 2.” Currently, Salman is also busy with the controversial television reality show “Bigg Boss 17.”
