Private instagram accounts are common in Bollywood
Having a 'finsta' a private Instagram account for close friends and family, is not unusual in the film industry. Earlier, both Khushi Kapoor and
Janhvi Kapoor
admitted they use such accounts to share personal moments away from the public eye. So if this is Ahaan's finsta, he's certainly not alone in keeping his digital life private.
Here's what we know so far about the alleged private account, at the time of publishing, it had 508 followers, 206 posts, and was following 1603 accounts.
The high number of posts, especially for a celebrity, suggests that this could be a more personal space for Ahaan, likely meant just for close friends and family.
'Saiyaara' is a Box Office hit
Ahaan Panday's debut film 'Saiyaara' is creating waves of its own. The romantic drama, directed by Mohit Suri, has become a box office powerhouse. According to early estimates shared by trade tracker Sacnilk, the film collected around Rs 30 crore (India net) on its tenth day, which was a Sunday. With no major releases currently competing at the box office, 'Saiyaara' is enjoying a dream run, and it's not over yet.

"Our effort is to reach every house and village": Aamir Khan discusses benefits of releasing 'Sitaare Zameen Par' on YouTube for audience
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan discussed the release of his sports drama 'Sitaare Zameen Par' on Aamir Khan Talkies' YouTube channel, highlighting how this will help reach a wider audience. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has said that he has decided to release his sports drama 'Sitaare Zameen Par' on the Aamir Khan Talkies' YouTube channel. He highlighted that doing so will help reach a wider audience. The film will be available from August 1 on YouTube Movies on demand at an accessible price, skipping other digital platforms entirely. It will be priced at Rs 100 in India and will also be available in 38 other countries, including the US, UK, and Australia, with prices tailored to local markets. Speaking to ANI, Aamir shared the reason why he decided to launch a pay-per-view model through his new YouTube Channel and how it will be beneficial for the audience. "It's my effort to reach as many people as possible in our huge country. Our films are released in theatres. The biggest hit of Hindi cinema is watched by 3-3.5 crore people in theatres. This 2-3 per cent of our population is seen in theatres. This is for our biggest hit. How will the rest of the population watch our films? We don't have that many theatres. Our country is huge. There are many areas with no theatres. This is a way to connect with the entire population. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Our effort is to reach every house and village." He praised the government for making this initiative possible."This is possible today because two to three things happened at the same time. First, our government brought the UPI payment facility a few years ago. This has made electronic payments easier. Most of us use electronic payments. India is number one in electronic payments in the world. The convenience of electronic payments has become easier. Internet penetration has become very deep. It is increasing every day. Third, we have a platform like YouTube. Everyone uses it. It has a lot of reach. All the devices, smart TVs, smartphones, and Tablets are pre-loaded with YouTube. Almost everyone is familiar with YouTube and uses it. All these things have come together. Now is the right time to expand our cinema to the entire country. At a sufficient price so that the family can watch the film together." The 'Lagaan' actor said, "This is my effort to reach the audience. I think we have not been able to do this to date. In India, there are 8,500 or 9,000 screens, half of which are in the southern states. Films in their original languages are released there. Almost 4,500 screens are saved for Hindi films. In America, which has a population of one-third of our population, there are 35,000 screens. China jahan abaadi hai hamare jitni vahan of 90,000 screens hai. .. We have very few screens. We need more screens. In the absence of screens, I thought this was a good way to reach the people of our country. We can reach the villages and homes." "People can choose their place and watch the film according to their convenience and time. This is my effort to reach the cinema to every home," he added. On piracy attempts over his film Sitare Zameen Par, he says, "We have appointed anti-piracy teams who remove pirated links from the internet... The pay-per-view model I'm introducing, where people can watch a film for Rs 100, may help reduce piracy... It also gives some hope to creative people... It will not bring any change to the theatre chain because the experience is completely different..." Aamir shared that this approach allows people to watch the film at their convenience, thereby increasing its reach. He has decided to release his other films also on the platform "We have started this model of cinema that we have been watching in theatres. In the last 100 years. Our audience is used to pay-per-view. We go to the theatre. We choose the film that we want to watch. We pay for it. We have been watching films like this. I am bringing this model online. If the theatre is not close to you. You can watch it at home. You can watch it on your time. You can watch it with your friends. You can watch it with your family. You can watch it with your village. This is the convenience of pay-per-view. The cinema that happens at home. It can be on your devices. On your phone. On your Tablet." The release will feature subtitles and dubbed versions in several languages to cater to a wider audience. Speaking about Sitaare Zameen Par, it is a sequel to the blockbuster movie Taare Zameen Par. In this sports drama, Aamir Khan plays the role of a basketball coach tasked with training a group of neurodivergent children. The film also stars Genelia Deshmukh . Directed by Prasanna, it hit theatres on June 20.

Vanessa Kirby embraces Sue Storm's ‘Nerd' Side: 'I am dying to play Malice in Fantastic Four'
Vanessa Kirby is a 'nerd' who loves Sue Storm. The 37-year-old actress, who portrays Sue in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has acknowledged that she is totally in love with the character. "I'm such a Sue nerd," said Vanessa, who co-stars with Pedro Pascal , Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn in the upcoming Marvel film. Speaking to Variety, she reflected on how the character's journey felt symbolic to her. The transition from being called Invisible Girl to becoming Invisible Woman after confronting her darker side as Malice stood out as especially meaningful. She found the evolution from girlhood to womanhood—marked by facing one's inner struggles—deeply powerful. She also expressed interest in possibly exploring the Malice arc herself in the future. Vanessa has shown a strong interest in exploring Sue Storm's darker side, particularly the Malice incarnation. She finds the character's complex backstory deeply compelling—losing her mother in a car crash, watching her father spiral into alcoholism and eventually land in prison for murder before dying. As a result, Sue had to step into a parental role for her younger brother Johnny, with both siblings forced to navigate life as orphans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Shop Sale Libas Undo This emotionally rich background is what draws Vanessa to portraying the Malice arc. Vanessa admires Sue Storm's decision to follow a path rooted in positivity and emotional strength. Rather than becoming hardened by her past, Sue chose to remain open-hearted and compassionate. Vanessa sees Sue's involvement in the Future Foundation not as a grand political statement, but as a natural extension of who she is at her core—a nurturing and resilient figure. Vanessa has previously shared that she's drawn to roles that challenge her. She finds excitement in projects that push her beyond her comfort zone. For her, the more uncertain a role feels at first glance, the more it signals that it's worth taking on. If a character feels too easy or predictable, she believes it lacks the thrill and growth that come with true creative challenges. Vanessa has found success both on stage and on screen, and she's previously reflected on how her passion for acting began with the theater. Growing up in a household where her parents, especially her father, had a deep love for Shakespeare and stage plays, she was surrounded by stories that sparked her imagination. Though she wasn't sure how to pursue acting professionally at first, her early exposure to theater helped her realize the power of storytelling. She described performing on stage as a shared experience with the audience—one that made her feel deeply connected and truly alive.

"Can't Continue The Way I Used To": Popular Food Vlogger Steps Away From Long-Form YouTube Videos
Firoz Chuttipara, the face behind Kerala's popular Village Food Channel, has said that he will no longer be making long-format YouTube videos that first brought him fame. Known for his massive cooking projects, like preparing hundreds of kilos of biryani or seafood pickle, Chuttipara's unique blend of tradition, scale and social impact earned him a huge following among food lovers in India and beyond. The Palakkad native, who returned to Kerala after working abroad, turned to YouTube with a vision. It was to cook grand meals, often for underprivileged communities, and show the process from scratch. But in a recent YouTube Live session, Firoz shared that the economics of creating such large-scale content no longer add up. 'I can't continue with YouTube the way I used to,' he said, as quoted by News18. With audiences increasingly turning to shorter videos, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, Firoz said that the shift in viewer behaviour has made long-form content financially unsustainable for creators like him. The limited earnings from short videos are not enough to offset the significant expenses involved in sourcing ingredients and handling large-scale production. Having said that, he clarified that while long videos will now be rare, short updates will continue to appear on his channel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VILLAGE FOOD CHANNEL (@villagefoodchannel_official) Looking ahead, Firoz has decided to channel his energy into a new business venture with a friend. Although he has kept the details under wraps, he said that the venture will be based in the UAE and will require much of his time and attention going forward. Firoz's journey, from expatriate to one of Kerala's most recognised culinary YouTubers, has been remarkable. While fans may miss the epic cooking sessions that made him famous, many remain eager to see how his next chapter unfolds, whether in business or short-form food content.
