Actor Salman Khan recently visited Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he attended a boxing match while seated next to the renowned footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodríguez. A new video from that same day has garnered attention on the internet, showing Cristiano Ronaldo walking past Salman Khan without acknowledging him.
This video was initially shared by the popular Reddit page BollyBlindsNGossip and has since gone viral on various social media platforms. In the footage, Salman Khan can be seen standing among other attendees at the boxing match. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez exited the event without acknowledging Salman’s presence.
What Is the Matter Of Salman Khan And Ronaldo
In a remarkable blend of Bollywood and football, India’s film industry superstar Salman Khan and the iconic footballer Cristiano Ronaldo found themselves in the same frame as they attended a boxing event in Saudi Arabia. Salman and Cristiano were seen sitting next to each other while they watched Francis Ngannou in action. While it remains unclear whether Salman and Ronaldo had any interaction on the sidelines of the event, a video that has emerged on social media shows Cristiano walking past Salman and sharing a hug with the legendary ‘Ronaldo de Nazario.’
According to a report, it has been disclosed that Ronaldo is a devoted fan of the former UFC champion Ngannou. When Ronaldo initially relocated to Saudi Arabia, he and Ngannou apparently stayed at the same hotel. In a show of his admiration, the Portuguese footballer even requested the Cameroonian fighter to meet with him.
Why Fans Are Adding This Incident With Vicky Kaushal
A multitude of stars, including Abhishek Bachchan, Farah Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, and others, graced the IIFA 2023 event in Abu Dhabi on May 25. While fans eagerly anticipate their favorite stars’ performances on stage, a viral video from the event has taken many by surprise.
A video from the IIFA Awards 2023 was shared by a Reddit user, depicting an incident where Salman Khan’s security personnel appear to push Vicky Kaushal aside as he attempts to interact with Salman.
The video also depicted Vicky Kaushal attempting to engage in a conversation with Salman Khan as the latter entered the event. Unfortunately, Vicky was prevented from doing so by the superstar’s security guards.
How Fans Are Sharing Their Views In Social Media After This Incident
In response to the new video, one user humorously commented, “Ronaldo did the same thing to Salman Bhoi what Bhoi did to Vicky Kaushal.” Another playfully suggested, “Ronaldo ne Vicky ka badla le liya (Ronaldo took revenge on Vicky).” There was also a comment that said, “It’s Ronaldo’s Vicky Kaushal moment.” Additionally, someone wittily remarked, “There’s always going to be a bigger fish in the ocean.”
Was This Right That Ronaldo Ignored Salman Khan?
However, a new picture has emerged that contradicts the earlier rumors. The photo shows Salman Khan and star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo engaged in a conversation on the sidelines of a boxing match, dispelling the previous speculations about Ronaldo snubbing Salman at the event. While a video had previously circulated online, capturing Ronaldo walking near the boxing ring and interacting with people, it did not depict Ronaldo acknowledging Salman. This led to some online trolling of the actor for the perceived snub.
