The crowd went wild in Kolkata as Disha Patani took the stage by storm at the IPL 2025 opening ceremony. Her energy and charm left the audience mesmerized, but fans were left disappointed when her performance was barely shown on live TV. The commentators focused on the upcoming match, and only snippets of her dance were aired. This sparked outrage on social media, with many fans expressing their frustration online.
Fans took to social media to voice their discontent. “Where was Disha Patani’s performance?” one user asked. Another fan requested someone to share the full performance via direct message. Some even compared her to US star Sidney Sweeney, saying she deserves just as much hype. One user speculated that the broadcaster cut her performance because it was too hot for TV. Another accused the commentators of cheating by talking over her performance.
After her set, Disha Patani also performed with Karan Aujla. Shreya Ghoshal’s sweet voice added to the event’s charm. Shah Rukh Khan hosted the ceremony, winning over the audience with his dance to “Lut Put Gaya” with Rinku Singh.
There’s no official word on how much Disha Patani charged for her performance, but rumor has it she can command anywhere from 22 to 50 lakhs per event. If that’s true, she could have earned big bucks for her dance.
The 18th season of IPL will wrap up on May 25 with the final match. This season features 74 matches across 13 venues, including 12 double-headers. The tournament kicked off with a thrilling opener between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
