Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates his 39th birthday today. The superstar footballer is now in the twilight of his career, but at his peak, Ronaldo was an unstoppable force who scored goals for fun and broke records after records at the club and international level. This excellent sportsmanship has garnered Ronaldo a royal fan following all over the world, including Indians.
Do you know that Ronaldo has a Bollywood connection too? He once, in a few moments, became a very informed part of the Bollywood tabloids.
Ignoring Salman Khan
A video of football player Cristiano Ronaldo and Bollywood actor Salman Khan became widely circulated on social media platforms, which seemed to indicate that the player completely ignored Salman during a boxing battle in Riyadh. Trolls of Khan were mocking Salman Khan on a viral video that shows Ronaldo walking in from the match with partner Georgina Rodrguez and ignoring Khan standing in their way.
But a new photograph from the event surfaced, showing Khan and Ronaldo laughing close to the ring. Supporters of the actor chastised trolls for first claiming that the great football player disregarded him.
Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou boxed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Salman Khan and Cristiano Ronaldo watched the match.
Cristiano Ronaldo with Bipasha Basu
Bipasha Basu was in a committed relationship with former co-star John Abraham. The actors startled everyone by announcing their breakup after more than eight years of a live-in relationship. However, not many people are aware that Bipasha Basu and the renowned football player Cristiano Ronaldo were allegedly formerly engaged.
It was reported that Bipasha and Ronaldo were once invited to a celebration at the Luz stadium in Lisbon. For the first time, the two shared a stage and delighted the audience. They became close after the event, and a British taboloid obtained some never-before-seen photos. According to reports, Bipasha and Ronaldo were in the pictures, ‘kissing’. It was said that following the Lisbon incident, the two went out to a bar and became intimate. However, Bipasha and Ronaldo have never released an official comment on this issue.
Partying With Priyanka Chopra-Jonas
In the past, Priyanka was on a tour of the USA to promote her single, but footballers and parties too seemed to figure prominently on her agenda. Priyanka attended the match with her entourage and decided to invite the two teams for a post-match night-out at Miami’s famous LIV club. The actress did not just host the bash; she entertained the footballers with a special performance that saw her gyrating to a whole lot of Bollywood and international numbers. Apart from Ronaldo, Paolo Maldini, Sami Khedira, Iker Casillas, and Ricardo Kaka danced the night away with Priyanka. The party continued till the wee hours of the morning, but Priyanka couldn’t stay for long as she had a New York-bound flight to catch.
