Disha Patani at IPL Opening Ceremony 2025
Bollywood actress Disha Patani delivered a power-packed performance at the IPL 2025 opening ceremony in Kolkata, leaving the audience mesmerized with her electrifying stage presence.
However, the excitement was short-lived as broadcasters unexpectedly cut away from her act to discuss the upcoming opening match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Eden Gardens.
The sudden transition from Disha’s performance to the pre-match discussion frustrated many viewers. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with some humorously pointing out the cultural shift in broadcasting priorities.
One fan wrote, “Bhai, Disha Patani ki performance puri koi DM kr dena (Can someone DM me her full performance?)”, while another joked about the abrupt cut-off, saying, “Disha Patani was fine until Jio Hotstar remembered their relatives might be watching. Instant cultural awakening!”
Following her solo act, Disha Patani joined Punjabi singer-rapper Karan Aujla on stage for a collaborative performance. The IPL 2025 opening ceremony also saw a soulful performance by Shreya Ghoshal and was hosted by none other than Shah Rukh Khan.
SRK thrilled fans by dancing to Lut Put Gaya alongside KKR player Rinku Singh, setting the stage for an action-packed tournament.
