The video has gone viral, garnering more than 4 million views on X. The adorable marsupial's big eyes and cute demeanour have won over viewers. One user wrote, "Bro looks better behaved than most adults that board planes." Another commented, "It looks like the kangaroo is the calmest one in this video."
A third added, "Oh, why, oh why? He is still anticipating getting into the aircraft. pls let him... Guess he passed the security check as well."
The video's authenticity was questioned by many viewers, with some speculating that it might be AI-generated. This suspicion was further supported by the user who shared the video, captioning it as "(AI)". Notably, the video originated from the Instagram page "Infinite Unreality," which specialises in bizarre AI-generated videos, including clips of other animals in unusual situations, like hippos and giraffes on planes.

When prompted by a user on its origins, Grok, an AI assistant, also called the video fake and wrote, "Yes, the video of a kangaroo holding a boarding pass at an airport is likely AI-generated. The original post labels it as '(ai),' and no credible reports confirm such an event. Kangaroos have appeared at airports, like Melbourne in 2013 or on a 2021 flight, but not as passengers with tickets. The scenario is highly implausible, and AI tools in 2025 commonly create such content. No evidence suggests the video is real."
The viral kangaroo video highlights the growing realism of AI-generated content and the ease with which it can mislead viewers, sparking discussions about the need for effective ways to verify authenticity. Expressing frustration, one user wrote, "These fake videos need to stop." Another said, "God save us from this tsunami of AI crap."

Woman 'dead' for 2 minutes reveals she saw "Avatar" like beings on the other side
Image credits: Getty Images The idea of 'other' is an enigma so intriguing that the human mind can't help but be curious. The other world, the other beings, the other planet, the other life, something that is unknown to humans, has all their attention. While the task of exploring other planets and beings is being eagerly carried out by astronomical authorities like NASA and other companies, it seems the other life part has been taken into account by the rest of the humans. For the ever-wondering mind questioning what happens after death, a woman who was pronounced dead for two minutes seems to have the answer. Nicole Meeuws was lifeless on a hospital bed, pronounced dead when she felt "pulled" from her body and entered a tunnel of light where she met "blue-skinned" beings, as cited in a NY Post report quoting NeedToKnow. The 49-year-old was in the hospital after losing her baby and was rushed into emergency surgery, where she began to go in and out of consciousness due to some complications. 'I found myself passing through a tunnel of blue and white light, not a beam, but a corridor that felt alive,' she said. The artist who is from Greece said that the light even had a temperature and tone, "almost like music made of water", and she entered a glowing space with colours such as silver, soft violets and deep radiant blues.'It didn't feel frightening; it felt like I was being called home,' she said. 'The chamber was vast, larger than any earthly structure, and everything pulsed gently like a heartbeat,' she added. 'And then I saw them.' What lies on the other side? Image credits: Instagram/bohodogon Well, according to Meeuws, it's "blue-skinned" beings with human faces, akin to the characters in the popular sci-fi movie "Avatar." 'Two towering beings seated on marble-like thrones, shimmering with energy. Their eyes were large and indigo, filled with kindness and recognition,' she said. Not only did they look like Avatar, but these beings also had fish-like tails rather than legs, had gills and were covered in scales. Additionally, they were both male and female intertwined and didn't speak in words, which did not cause any problems for the woman, as she understood everything. She said that she didn't understand their language, but they made her feel at home and telepathically communicated with her that life is an illusion, and we start to live when we die. They also told her that she wasn't meant to have children and was given the gift to teach people about the "other side." 'I felt more known than I had ever felt in my life; I didn't want to leave,' she noted. 'I understood this place, this feeling, and I truly believe it was the original home from which we all come from.' 'I learned that death is not an end, it's a return to our actual lives,' Meeuws added. The journey back to life Image credits: Instagram/bohodogon After being "zapped" back into her body, the woman communicated with her husband in a high-pitched tone and an "unfamiliar" language. 'It sounded like dolphin clicks. It continued for minutes, which left everyone around us stunned. But I couldn't stop it – it was coming through me, not from me,' Meeuws said. 'My senses were heightened, and I could hear emotion in people's voices as colour. I returned completely different; almost reborn,' she added. While Meeuws has not had a similar experience ever since, she has had visions of the blue-skinned beings often. According to her, they are non-alien creatures from the Apkallu interdimensional tribe, also referred to as Demigods, that allegedly have given civilisation to mankind. She also shared that the mission she was given by the beings is to spread the message that "love is stronger than death." 'To create heaven on Earth, we must spend each day spreading love. I'm no longer afraid of death because I know what's waiting for me on the other side,' she noted. 'It was a beginning, not an end.' Do you believe in the afterlife or other beings?

Did Ahaan Panday Date Tara Sutaria? Romantic Pic Of Saiyaara Actor On One Knee Goes Viral
Last Updated: The viral image shows Ahaan on one knee, holding Tara's hand, while Tara appears to blush. According to several Reddit users, the photo dates back to their teenage years. Ahaan Panday, who made his acting debut with Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, has quickly become the talk of the town. While the actor continues to bask in praise for his performance as Krish Kapoor, curious fans have now shifted focus to his personal life. Amid the buzz, an old photograph of Ahaan Panday and actress Tara Sutaria has resurfaced online, setting the internet abuzz with speculation about their alleged past relationship. The viral image shows Ahaan on one knee, holding Tara's hand, while Tara appears to blush. According to several Reddit users, the photo dates back to their teenage years, when the duo was reportedly romantically linked, long before either of them entered Bollywood. Though neither Ahaan nor Tara has ever confirmed the relationship, fans are treating the picture as a sweet blast from the past. Interestingly, this isn't the only time Ahaan's love life has been in the spotlight. Just days ago, influencer and actress Shruti Chauhan triggered dating speculation after penning a heartfelt message for Ahaan following the release of Saiyaara. 'To the boy who has aspired for this his whole life… I love you, I'm proud of you," Shruti wrote in an emotional post on Instagram, addressing Ahaan directly. The message led to speculation that they might be a couple. However, Ahaan's team has denied all rumours, clarifying that he is single. Sources close to the debutant also stated that Shruti has been Ahaan's friend for over a decade. Meanwhile, Tara Sutaria is currently said to be dating Veer Pahariya, who was earlier in a relationship with Sara Ali Khan. While Ahaan's personal life continues to make headlines, professionally, he is enjoying a dream debut. Saiyaara has already crossed Rs 130 crore at the domestic box office, and continues to perform strongly in its second week.

Ahaan Panday Had To Be Rushed To Hospital When Sister Ananya Panday Hit Him: 'I Was Bleeding'
Ahaan Panday reveals a bloody childhood prank with sister Alanna and cousins Ananya & Rysa, recalling a hospital dash and fun-filled family memories. Before striking gold with Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday was busy creating content with his sister Alanna and cousins Ananya Panday and Rysa Panday — sometimes in ways that led to hospital visits. Asked about his 'fondest memory" with Ananya, the new star didn't hesitate. 'Fondest memory of Ananya is when she hit me with the door. I was bleeding, I was rushed to the hospital." Alanna, amused and surprised, chimed in too, but Ahaan clarified the prank was a group effort. 'It was all three of you. Basically, Alanna came running into my room and she was like, 'Ahaan, you have to come right now. We are doing these magic tricks'. I said, 'Oh really' and I went running. I used to be very naive and I reached and apparently it was funny to bang the door on my head… Yeah, that's what happened." But that wasn't the only time Ahaan got hurt. He also shared that Alanna used to bang his head against the car, while she laughed and denied it during the chat. Despite the childhood antics, Ahaan's bond with his family shines through. He affectionately recalled getting his first tattoo — dedicated to Alanna and featuring her birth year. Earlier this week, Alanna Panday took to Instagram to share a moving video of their family's reaction after watching Saiyaara for the first time. In the clip, Alanna is seen hugging their mother, Deanne Panday, as both women burst into tears, clearly overwhelmed with pride and emotion. Alanna's husband, filmmaker Ivor McCray, gently consoles her with a warm hug and a beaming smile as he takes in the moment. Ahaan Panday's big-screen debut in Saiyaara is already tugging at heartstrings of the audience. The newcomer, who plays the intense and magnetic Krish Kapoor, is receiving love from across the nation as the film has set the box office on fire. The film also stars debutante Aneet Padda. The film has raced past Rs 150 crore worldwide in just four days, beating Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur's Aashiqui 2, which was also directed by Mohit Suri.
