The clip comes on the heels of his latest film
Sikandar
crashing at the box office, prompting netizens to ask if Bhai's charm is finally wearing off.
The video, believed to be from a Vancouver concert, features
grooving to Leke Prabhu Ka Naam from Tiger 3. But what was meant to be a high-energy act soon turned into meme fodder as viewers fixated on his visible midriff and commented on his apparent discomfort and aging appearance.
Social media exploded with reactions. One user wrote, 'Retirement le lo bhai.' Another added, 'Bhai, age is catching up. How long can someone stay fit?' A particularly harsh remark read, 'He's turned old, his body looks stiff. What kind of concert is this? The sad part is, there's no retirement policy for stars.'
This isn't the first time Salman has sparked concerns. At 59, the actor was recently seen with a white beard, and fans speculated about his health after reports of a rib injury during the Sikandar shoot.
His public appearances have also drawn attention for his slowed energy.

But not everyone is trolling him. Fans and industry friends came out strongly in his support. Actor Suyyash Rai clapped back, saying, 'Aao toh 60 mei pehle! Uske jitna kaam karke dikhaao 60 mei… 60 choro 40-50 ki line mei aao…Fit Fat sab samjh aa jayega!'
Another user shared, 'All the people who are trolling him need to take a good look at themselves and their bodies.

He's in his late 50s—give him a break. Maybe he's going through a phase. Let's be thankful he's still here. Everyone goes through ups and downs.'
One netizen reminded everyone of Salman's legacy, 'Remember, he's the one who brought body-building culture to the mainstream. Age brings its own challenges. Let's not discourage someone who has given us so much.'
Despite the chatter, Salman's career is far from slowing down.
He's currently linked to a slew of high-profile sequels, including Andaz Apna Apna 2, Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, Kick 2, and Dabangg 4. Buzz also surrounds a new project where he might portray an Indian Army officer in a film based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. If all goes to plan, it could hit cinemas by late 2025.
