A particular video created a stir as it showed Ronaldo passing by Salman Khan. The captain of Saudi Al-Nassr football club seemed to have overlooked the presence of the “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” actor while walking through the crowd hand-in-hand with his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez.
Contrary to assumptions, another image depicted the two engaged in an amiable conversation, widely shared by the actor’s fans to disprove claims of Ronaldo snubbing him.
Reportedly, Ronaldo is an admirer of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who made his boxing debut against Fury in Riyadh. Despite a controversial split-decision win for Fury, both Khan and Ronaldo were in attendance.
Ahead of the match, Ronaldo had sent Ngannou a watch as a gesture of good luck. Their initial meeting took place earlier in the year when both were staying at the same Saudi Arabian hotel.
Shifting focus, Salman Khan is set to star in the upcoming fifth installment of Yash Raj Film’s spy universe, “Tiger 3,” alongside Katrina Kaif.
