Disha Patani’s electrifying performance cut short

Disha Patani gave a power-packed performance at the IPL 2025 opening ceremony in Kolkata that mesmerized the audience and fans.

But, 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)

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!”

After her solo act, Disha Patani joined Punjabi singer-rapper Karan Aujla on stage for a collaborative performance. The opening ceremony was also 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.

The 18th edition of IPL will culminate with the final match on May 25 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The season will feature 74 matches across 13 venues, including 12 double-headers.
