Salman Khan's Viral Belly Video Sparks Ageism Debate in Bollywood
Salman Khan's viral concert video prompts mixed reactions as fans defend his fitness while critics make fun of his weight. Explore the debate around body image and celebrity culture.
An old video of Salman Khan from one of his concerts in Vancouver has recently gone viral, but for the wrong reasons. In the video clip, the actor’s bulging belly is revealed while he dances enthusiastically to the song ‘Leke Prabhu Ka Naam’ from his film ‘Tiger 3’. Some social media users began making fun of Salman for his lack of fitness after noticing that he had gained weight.
Then, Salman's supporters stepped up to defend him, saying that he is 59 years old and shouldn't be criticized or judged for gaining weight. Regardless of the superstar's physical condition, some fans expressed their love for him.
One user wrote, "Been a legend for his good looks and fitness, lets give the guy respect for his fitness".
Another user wrote, "Trolling him at his lowest cause can't compete with his prime".
One user questions to the trollers, "Why do people expect peak body even at the age of 60????? No one owe you anything."
Another fan responded to the trollers, "Don’t forget he’s 59 and still looks amazing and fit."
More about public sentiments than Salman Khan has been exposed by the incident. Ageism is still pervasive in our culture, as evidenced by the video's rapid viral growth and the severity of some responses.
Khan, who typically keeps quiet about personal issues, has not answered the recent trolls. However, his history indicates that he may choose to ignore the chaos and continue as usual, confidently.
