The Indian Premier league (IPL) 2025 opening ceremony at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on March 22 featured dazzling performances from celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Shreya Ghoshal and Karan Aujla.
Bollywood actress Disha Patani delivered an energetic dance performance, but fans were left disappointed when the broadcast was abruptly cut short. Commentators shifted focus to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru v Kolkata Knight Riders match, leading to online backlash.
One fan sarcastically remarked: “Disha Patani was fine until Jio Hotstar remembered their relatives might be watching. Instant cultural awakening! They stopped the broadcast mid-stream.”
