The viral kiss controversy at a recent Coldplay concert took an unexpected twist involving the ‘Baahubali’ franchise. Joining the trend and meme fest, the social media team of the ‘Baahubali’ franchise shared a playful image of Prabhas and Anushka Shetty, shot during the filming.
The post featured the duo, Baahubali and Devasena, as “CEO & HR of Maahishmathi (sic),” as per the post’s caption. This joke linked the Coldplay concert incident with the fictional kingdom from the popular Indian film.
Social media users shared their amusement in the comment section of the post. One of the users commented, “Coldplay concert Bhalladeva concert (sic).” Another added, “OMG!! So happy to see this (sic)”.

Earlier, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin, during the viral kiss-cam, showed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot, which fuelled rumours of an extra-marital affair.
The camera zoomed in on Byron and Cabot, catching them off-guard, and they tried to duck behind a barrier. Observing their awkwardness, Martin quipped from the stage, “Oh look at these two! Oh what?” The unexpected moment quickly went viral, further fuelled by Martin’s light-hearted remark, “Either they are having an affair or they are very shy.”
Martin’s comments continued to amuse the audience during the concert as he joked, “I hope we didn’t do something bad.” At Coldplay’s latest concert, he further warned concert-goers to be camera-ready.
The incident caught the attention of concertgoers and sparked a meme frenzy online.
