the highlight for many was Salman Khan’s performance with Tamannaah Bhatia.

Salman Khan’s Dabangg Tour made a glamorous stop in Qatar this week, drawing massive crowds as he performed some of his biggest hits. While the actor’s high-energy solo performances earned loud cheers from fans in Doha, one moment from the night has set social media buzzing for entirely different reasons.

A series of clips from the event surfaced online, showcasing Salman dancing to his signature tracks such as Oo Jaane Jana, Jumme Ki Raat from Kick, Pandey Jee Seeti from Dabangg, and Sajan Radio from Tubelight. He was also seen adorably grooving with children on stage in honour of Children’s Day.

However, the highlight for many was Salman Khan’s performance with Tamannaah Bhatia. In a video that quickly went viral, the duo is seen dancing to the romantic song Dil Diyan Gallan, with Salman dressed in black and Tamannaah in a bright red ensemble. Their attempt at recreating the soft, romantic vibe of the song appeared to fall flat for a section of the internet.

Social media users did not hold back. The called the performance awkward and mismatched. Many viewers described the moment as “second-hand embarrassment,” while others went as far as labelling it “cringe pro max.” Several comments also suggested that Tamannaah looked uncomfortable during the dance.
