Viral pic: Salman Khan and Christiano Ronaldo caught chatting after rumours of them ignoring each other in Riyadh

A photo of Salman Khan and Christiano Ronaldo has been going viral. In the picture, they can be seen interacting on a particular topic. The moment the photo was captured, Salman was talking and the footballer let out a big smile. The picture went viral right after there were rumours about Salman and Ronaldo snubbing each other at the MMA event in Riyadh, which they attended seated next to each other.

The viral picture

Captured in blue, Salman Khan is seen interacting with Ronaldo in a photo which is going viral. The two were seated next to each other during the match and they seem to be chatting some time before or after the match.

The video that caused confusion

Before the picture, a video had been going viral on the internet. In the clip, Ronaldo is seen passing by Salman without even exchanging a glance. He held his girlfriend’s hand and greeted everyone on his way. This has been assumed as Ronaldo snubbing Salman. In defence of the actor, fans released videos where Salman did not pay heed to Ronaldo either.

Ronaldo’s girlfriend snubbed the actor too?

Among the many speculations, there was one that not only Ronaldo but his girlfriend Conor McGregor snubbed the actor too. She posted a photo with Ronaldo on Instagram. Many believe that she cropped Salman from the picture. However, in practicality, Salman was seated at a distance from her (in another row altogether). Thus, even though there was scope of interaction, the actor couldn’t be a part of the selfie unless the couple deliberately aimed for a selfie with Salman (which they clearly did not).

Photos of Salman being seated in the same row as Ronaldo and his girlfriend had been going viral. The actor was representing India by attending the event in Saudi Arabia.
