Although the ceremony failed to live-up to the hype prior to the Shah Rukh Khan arrival, one of the most exciting moment of the ceremony was when Shah Rukh made both Rinku Singh and Virat Kohli come to stage and dance with him.

However, some users on social media noted that when Rinku arrived at the stage, he ignored Virat Kohli who was already at the stage. When Rinku arrived, Kohli went to shake hand but Rinku completely ignored.

In-fact, there is nothing wrong here. Both Kohli and Rinku share a good relationship, however, when Kohli went to shake hand with Rinku, Rinku actually didn’t see him approaching for hand shake.
