Tom Brady's luxury surprise with a personal touch (Image credit: Instagram/X)
Tom Brady has turned heads once again—this time for a dazzling family moment. During Super Bowl weekend in New Orleans, the NFL legend gifted his son, Benjamin, a $3 million Jacob & Co.
Billionaire Mini Ashoka watch—an ultra-rare timepiece. It features over 100 carats of diamonds and is one of only 18 in the world.
A luxury surprise with a personal touch
The exchange took place during a private Super Bowl week gathering among close friends. Brady, known for his tightly guarded personal life, allowed cameras to catch this rare moment. It reflected a more relaxed, off-field version of the seven-time Super Bowl champion. The moment wasn't just about wealth—it was about legacy, emotion, and fatherhood.
In a video that quickly went viral, Brady surprised his 15-year-old son during a quiet moment. 'Close your eyes… put your wrist out,' he says, carefully placing the watch on Benjamin's wrist. He then hugs the teen and adds, 'I love you, buddy.' The emotion was visible on both sides. Benjamin, clearly stunned, looked down and asked, 'Is this real?' followed by, 'Whoa!'
The watch, from Jacob & Co.'s Billionaire series, is a celebrity favorite and ultra-rare.

It marked not just a gift, but a moment that blended luxury with deep family pride. Benjamin's reaction, caught alongside his friends' cheers, gave the moment viral energy. One friend shouted, 'Benny's iced out!' as laughter echoed through the room.
The lighthearted atmosphere was captured in full, showing a rare father-son connection. Brady, often known for his intensity on the field, offered a glimpse of quiet warmth.
It was a snapshot of his post-NFL life—filled with both legacy and love. For many, it felt more like a rite of passage than just a flashy gift.
Mixed reactions from fans online
While many admired the sentimental gesture, not all reactions were warm online. Some praised Brady for the emotional bond, others raised concerns over the excess. Social media erupted with a mix of humor, skepticism, and awe at the price tag.
One fan offered a compliment saying, 'Perfect timing.'
Another added, 'Sell it, buy a nice house and a Lambo.' Another commented, 'Time to teach him self-defense.' A fourth wrote bluntly, 'Ridiculous.'
Off the field, still in the spotlight
The moment unfolded while Brady was in New Orleans for his broadcasting duties. Now heading into his second season with Fox Sports, he's as busy off-field as ever. From media to investments to parenting, he continues juggling multiple roles. But for a brief moment, the spotlight was on something more personal—fatherhood.

Seaborn holds a Post Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Business from the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, as well as a Master's Degree in Management Studies from Duke University. While her professional credentials are impressive on their own, social media users are fascinated by her decision to quietly build a serious career in sustainability, all while being married to one of the world's most famous musicians. 'She's been at Deloitte for nine years, while married to a literal rock star. That's awesome,' one X user commented. 'I'd be afraid, if I married a rock star, that their fame would swallow me up,' another wrote. Others praised her independence, calling her 'a pure example of a woman being independent,' and 'proof that it's not about the money, it's about self-importance.' Seaborn, who married Sheeran in 2019, has long kept a low public profile. This peek into her corporate life, however, has added a new layer to her image, one that has struck a chord with many.

'Rekha is not easy to find,' says director Muzaffar Ali as Umrao Jaan is set to re-release in theatres: 'Even I wouldn't attempt it again'
Rekha is considered an icon, not just for her memorable on-screen portrayals but also for her aura and style off-screen. Fans are quite excited as her film 'Umrao Jaan' is set to re-release in cinemas. This one is considered one of Rekha's best works and director Muzaffar Ali says that even he wouldn't attempt to make this film again. Ali said that this film based on Mirza Hadi Ruswa's novel should not be remade. He told Hindustan Times, "Rekha is not easy to find! You don't people with such commitment — what she did, no one else can do today. Every person in the film was as real as Rekha, and she, too, became part of that milieu. It reflected in everything: Shahryar's lyrics, Khayyam's music, Kumudini Lakya's choreography, Asha Bhosle's playback singing, the characterisation, the actors, the cinematography, and the costumes. Everything was crafted in layers." Muzaffar adds, 'The film has reached such a level that anything new should surpass it. Films aren't made just with budgets; they're made with commitment and passion. I haven't felt that same passion again, and even I wouldn't redo it. Closure is important — you can't make it better than this. It can't be recreated. Others have tried and failed, so why should I? Instead, I'd rather tell new stories with the same passion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo ' Talking about the process of shooting it, he said, "We shot it for a year in two seasons in 1980. We shot it extensively in and around Lucknow, Faizabad and a set in Mehboob Studio in Mumbai where we created a kotha with original elements (old doors and artifacts) so it became a real place where we can play with lights and shades. Rerelease is a reassurance that the film is alive. The life and warmth I am feeling is very inspiring as people are taking interest and exploring different shades in it. Umrao Jaan was like discovering my inner world, the past and my Lucknow. It was going back in time.' 'Umrao Jaan' which starred Naseeruddin Shah , Farooq Sheikh alongside Rekha, is set to re-release on June 27. The film has been restored in 4K by the National National Film Archive of India (NFAI).

Once-struggling actor Jaideep Ahlawat buys 2 Mumbai luxury properties in 2 months. What is the net worth of the Paatal Lok star?
Once known as a struggling actor making quiet cameos in ensemble casts, Jaideep Ahlawat has today emerged as one of the most formidable performers in Indian cinema—and now, as a serious name in Mumbai's luxury property market. With two real estate purchases worth ₹20 crore in just two months, the Paatal Lok star's financial graph appears to be rising almost as rapidly as his fame. Jaideep, who was recently seen in Netflix's Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins, continues to impress with his grounded yet gripping performances. A graduate of FTII Pune, he started his film journey with roles in Khatta Meetha, Commando, Gangs of Wasseypur, and Raazi, but it was Amazon Prime's Paatal Lok that catapulted him into the national spotlight. Since then, his reputation for intense, layered roles has made him one of India's most respected character actors. According to the Indian Express, the actor purchased a Rs 10 crore luxury apartment in May 2025 in Poorna Apartments, Andheri West. As per property documents reviewed by Square Yards, he bought a second apartment in the same building just two weeks later, also priced at Rs 10 crore. Each apartment comes with a 1,950 sq ft carpet area, a built-up area of 217.47 sq m, and four dedicated parking spots. Together, the couple reportedly paid Rs 60 lakh in stamp duty and Rs 30,000 in registration fees. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo Jaideep Ahlawat's remuneration With back-to-back real estate investments and big-ticket acting projects, Jaideep's financial profile has seen a sharp upward turn.

Jaideep Ahlawat has films like Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand's King, Sriram Raghavan's Ikkis and Vipul Amrutlal Shah's Hisaab, which will also feature the director's wife and actress Shefali Shah and Paatal Lok fame Abhishek Banerjee .
