Salman Khan Faces Online Trolling Over Old Concert Video
Superstar Salman Khan has been facing harsh online criticism after an old concert video went viral, showing him dancing with female performers and revealing his belly mid-performance. The clip comes on the heels of his latest film "Sikandar" crashing at the box office, prompting netizens to question if Bhai’s charm is finally wearing off.
The video, believed to be from a Vancouver concert, features Salman grooving to "Leke Prabhu Ka Naam" from "Tiger 3." However, it quickly turned into meme fodder as viewers focused on his visible midriff and commented on his apparent discomfort and aging appearance.
Social media erupted with reactions. One user wrote, "Retirement le lo bhai," while another added, "Bhai, age is catching up. How long can someone stay fit?" A particularly harsh remark read, "He’s turned old, his body looks stiff. What kind of concert is this? The sad part is, there’s no retirement policy for stars."
This isn’t the first time Salman has sparked concerns. At 59, the actor was recently seen with a white beard, and fans speculated about his health after reports of a rib injury during the "Sikandar" shoot. His public appearances have also drawn attention for his slowed energy.
Not everyone is trolling him. Fans and industry friends came out in support. Actor Suyyash Rai clapped back, saying, "Aao toh 60 mei pehle! Uske jitna kaam karke dikhaao 60 mei… 60 choro 40-50 ki line mei aao…Fit Fat sab samjh aa jayega!"
Another user shared, "All the people who are trolling him need to take a good look at themselves and their bodies. He’s in his late 50s—give him a break. Maybe he’s going through a phase. Let’s be thankful he’s still here. Everyone goes through ups and downs."
One netizen reminded everyone of Salman’s legacy, "Remember, he’s the one who brought body-building culture to the mainstream. Age brings its own challenges. Let’s not discourage someone who has given us so much."
Despite the chatter, Salman’s career is far from slowing down. He’s currently linked to a slew of high-profile sequels, including "Andaz Apna Apna 2," "Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2," "Kick 2," and "Dabangg 4." Buzz also surrounds a new project where he might portray an Indian Army officer in a film based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. If all goes to plan, it could hit cinemas by late 2025.
