Saiyaara star Ahaan Pandey seen with 2000s wired earphones; netizens gush: 'So humble'
A video of 'Saiyaara' star Ahaan Pandey has gone viral on the Internet. The actor was seen dressed in casual clothes as he descended from his car. He looked dapper in a military jacket, black shirt, and slacks. In the clip, which was shared by the pop culture handle Instant Bollywood, the actor greets the paparazzi briefly and then heads off to a restaurant.
Dropping the clip, the handle praised the actor for using wired earphones instead of Bluetooth buds in 2025.
Wired earphones went out of fashion after the 2000s. Netizens were pleasantly surprised to see a Gen Z star flaunt them. One Instagram user wrote, 'He is so humble...' Another commented, 'Like his simplicity.' Another said he was 'much better' than Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim Ali Khan. For the unversed, Ibrahim made his debut earlier this year in the Netflix rom-com 'Naadaniyan' opposite Sridevi's daughter Khushi Kapoor. Saiyaara continues to demolish the box-office. The Mohit Suri directorial has earned a whopping Rs 153 crore so far.
Ahaan Pandey is the nephew of Bollywood actor Chunky Pandey. His father, Chikki, is a Mumbai-based businessman, and his mother, Deanne, is a renowned fitness trainer and author. His sister Alanna is a YouTuber, while his cousin Ananya is an actress known for movies such as 'Pati Patney Aur Woh,' 'Dream Girl 2' etc. Amid his successful debut, the actor has already been linked to model-influencer Shruti Chauhan. Speculation surrounding a potential romance between Ahaan Panday and Shruti Chauhan began making rounds a few days back, originating from a discussion on the Reddit forum 'BollyBlindsNGossip.' These murmurs gained further traction after Shruti shared her thoughts on the song Saiyaara, a move that many online users interpreted as a subtle hint at her alleged connection with Ahaan.Taking to Instagram, she wrote, 'To the boy who dreamed of this his entire life, to the boy who believed in it when no one else did, to the one who gave his all for this moment. To the one who deserves this more than anyone! This stage is yours, @ahaanpandayy. I love you, I'm proud of you, I'm crying, I'm screaming, and I'm only wishing and praying that there is more and more to come for you! The world will finally know you and what you can do! Forever (sic)."Shruti Chauhan, known for her work in both acting and modeling, has made notable appearances in Indian cinema. One of her most recognized performances was in Zoya Akhtar's widely acclaimed film Gully Boy, where she portrayed the character Maya. According to online sources, she is originally from Jaipur and holds a degree in the arts from Jyoti Vidyapeeth College.More recently, Shruti featured in the music video Hadh Se, which also starred popular singer Jubin Nautiyal. While social media is abuzz with conjecture linking her to Ahaan, individuals familiar with the actress insist that her post about Saiyaara was purely an expression of artistic admiration and support, not a romantic message.A source close to Ahaan rubbished the speculation. They told India Today, 'There is absolutely no truth to these reports.'

'Elite idiot': Tom Brady called out by Jason Whitlock after telling Scottie Scheffler to prioritize career over family
(Image credits: IG/X) Tom Brady may be the undisputed GOAT on the football field, but when it comes to giving life advice? Let's just say the Internet isn't handing him a trophy. The seven-time Super Bowl champ recently offered some unsolicited wisdom to golf star Scottie Scheffler and it seriously backfired. In a now-viral moment, conservative sports commentator Jason Whitlock absolutely torched Brady's remarks, calling them 'elite idiocy' and suggesting Brady's the last guy who should be preaching about family values. Tom Brady tells Scottie Scheffler to prioritize greatness but fans think he missed the mark completely This all started with Scheffler humbly saying that if golf ever interfered with being a good husband or dad, he'd walk away from the game. Enter Brady, who interpreted that as a little too soft and tried to coach him into chasing greatness instead. Big mistake. Because fans and analysts alike weren't buying what Brady was selling. On his 'Change the Game' newsletter, Brady decided to drop a take about Scheffler's viral family-first remarks. The quarterback praised the golfer's humility but pushed back on the idea of quitting for family, saying: 'If you want to be great at anything, there's a cost. There sure is a cost to winning and being your best.' He followed it up with a line about how pursuing greatness is also how you provide for your family. But this Brady-branded wisdom didn't exactly land the way he hoped, especially given his very public divorce from Gisele Bündchen, which was allegedly sparked by him un-retiring from football. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I thought my dad was 'boring'.

Fans praise Scheffler's values as Brady gets dragged for preaching success at all costs Social media quickly picked sides and Scheffler became the fan favorite. Many praised the golfer's humility, saying it was refreshing to see a top athlete openly prioritize marriage and fatherhood over fame and legacy. Fans praise Scheffler's values as Brady gets dragged for preaching success at all costs Meanwhile, Brady got dragged. Critics said he should've just sat this one out, especially considering how his 'greatness above all' mindset may have cost him a marriage. Some even said he's still out of touch with where culture is heading where emotional intelligence, values, and faith are increasingly part of the conversation around masculinity. Tom Brady may have meant well, but his attempt to mentor Scottie Scheffler turned into a viral misstep. Fans aren't canceling the GOAT, but they're making it clear: today's athletes are rewriting what greatness really looks like and it doesn't always come with a ring. FAQs: Q1: What advice did Tom Brady give to Scottie Scheffler? Brady told Scheffler that chasing greatness often comes with personal sacrifice and suggested not to abandon career success in favor of family balance. Q2: What did Scottie Scheffler originally say? Scheffler said in an interview that if golf ever interfered with his ability to be a good husband or father, he would walk away from the sport without hesitation. Q3: How did fans react to the debate? Fans overwhelmingly supported Scheffler and criticized Brady for being out of touch. Many praised Scheffler for prioritizing faith and family.
