Salman Khan and Cristiano Ronaldo took the internet by storm after photos and videos of them attending a boxing match in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, surfaced on social media. In one of the videos, which went insanely viral, Salman was seen standing in the background as CR7 hugged others, which led to netizens speculate if the star footballer “ignored" the Bollywood superstar.
Amid this ongoing debate, a throwback video of Salman discussing football has resurfaced on the internet. In the video, Salman makes it clear that he has no interest in football as he doesn’t have patience to sit and watch a football match.
“Nahi hu fan main football ka (I’m not a fan of football)," a visibly disinterested Salman told a reporter who asked the actor about the football craze at a promotional event of Kick in 2014. “I watch it sometimes but I don’t follow it," Salman said, before pointing towards Randeep Hooda and adding, “He is a football fan. I watched two matches with him. I understand it a little bit but I don’t have the patience."
Meanwhile, Salman attended a boxing match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. The match was also attended by Cristiano Ronaldo and Conor McGregor. A video was shared online showing the trio in the same frame. A social media user also took to X to share a video in which Salman was seen standing in the crowd while Ronaldo and McGregor held everyone’s attention. In the video, Salman stood at a distance and sported a big smile while the duo pretended to have a showdown.
On the work front, Salman is currently busy with Bigg Boss 17. The new season began last month and has resumed his weekend duties of hosting the Weekend Ka Vaar. The actor is also preparing to set fireworks at the box office this Diwali with the release of Tiger 3. The film brings back Salman as Tiger and reunites him with Katrina Kaif, who reprises her role as Zoya. The film also stars Emraan Hashmi. Directed by Maneesh Sharma and written by Aditya Chopra, Tiger 3 is set to release on November 12.
