Bollywood superstar Salman Khan temporarily stepped away from his hosting role on the popular reality show Bigg Boss 19 for a highly anticipated musical tour. The actor, along with a troupe of celebrity performers, headed to Qatar for his ongoing Dabangg Tour, but it was his on-stage appearance that has since captured the internet's attention.
Fan Alarm Over Viral Performance
Several clips from Salman Khan's Doha performance quickly made their way onto various social media platforms, where they amassed millions of views. In one particularly widely shared video, the actor is seen dancing on stage with a group of background dancers to some of his biggest hits.
However, instead of just praising the performance, a significant number of fans expressed deep concern. Many viewers became convinced that the Tiger actor is unwell. Comments flooded in alleging that Khan looked visibly "tired" and "fatigued," with some pointing out that he was sweating profusely on stage.
A Heated Social Media Debate Erupts
The conversation intensified when a user shared the video on Reddit, asking if it was a "live demonstration of burnout." This single post ignited a fierce online debate about the actor's current health and physical condition.
Critics of the performance voiced their opinions:
- One user commented, "He looks tired and like ill... But for money he is doing it."
- Another added, "Age, and plus the medications he is on for bone marrow transplant. It's a really big deal."
- A third user stated, "Nobody's asking a 60-year-old to dance like he's 25. People are just expecting a superstar to put in some effort if he's doing a paid performance."
Fans and defenders were quick to counter:
- A supporter argued, "People expect a 60 year old to behave like a 40 year old - no wonder these stars are under immense pressure... sometimes people just want stars presence rather than a 10/10 performance."
- Another person questioned, "Can we do all this at 60 with all the disease he has?"
Performance Details and What's Next
During the performance in question, Salman Khan took to the stage in a striking all-black outfit, consisting of a black shirt and pants, which he accessorized with a vibrant red dupatta. He danced to a medley of his popular tracks, including "Hangover," "Main Hoon Hero Tera," and "Jag Ghoomeya."
He was joined on the tour by a host of other celebrities, such as Jacqueline Fernandez, Tamannaah Bhatia, Sunil Grover, Stebin Ben, and Maniesh Paul. A separate video of Khan dancing with Tamannaah Bhatia also gained significant traction online.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, fans can next see the actor in Apoorva Lakhia's upcoming film, 'Battle of Galwan'.
