Comedian Roasts Man Attending Show With ‘Just A Friend' In Crowd: ‘Coldplay Part 2?'
A kiss cam moment between Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon and HR head Kristin Cabot has sparked a wave of memes, videos and viral reactions online.
There was a time when hearing 'Coldplay" meant thinking of magical concerts, full of lights, music and emotion. That still holds true (kind of). But lately, the word instantly brings up the viral kiss cam moment from the band's recent concert. The one that sparked rumours of an alleged affair between Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon and HR chief Kristin Cabot. Since then, the Internet has exploded with memes, videos and whatnot.
Now, comedian Max Amini has joined the fun in his own way. He recently shared a video from his Mumbai show last year that features a hilarious interaction with an audience member.
'I have this one guy here, such a gentleman here with the glasses and the baseball cap, yeah? I feel like you were hiding. Why are you wearing sunglasses inside the auditorium?" Amini says as he points to a man in the crowd.
The man replies, 'I forgot to switch out the glasses." To which Amini adds, 'I'm glad I talked to you because you couldn't even see me. Now, you're like – 'Oh s***! I am at Max Amini show.' He forgot."
Amini pauses, grins and goes, 'All you of Indians – Player! Player! Everybody's out with their friends." Then, with a playful jab, he adds, 'Naman, very beautiful friend. Does his wife know you're hanging out?" while the audience bursts into laughter.
Amini ends the conversation with, 'Well, he puts on the glasses, he thinks nobody sees."
The video was shared with the caption, 'If only the Coldplay couple knew sunglasses could keep them undercover! This guy came prepared."
Watch The Clip:
As the video gained traction, the comments section was filled with references to the Coldplay moment.
One user wrote, 'Coldplay Part 2."
Another joked, 'Coldplayed – but he didn't duck and she didn't hide her face."
'Now every show is turning into Coldplay," someone said while a viewer added, 'Coldplay of standup comedy!"
'Max did it before Coldplay," a person said.
An individual jokingly questioned, 'Why should Chris Martin of Coldplay have all the fun?"
Max Amini is a globally touring stand-up comedian who has appeared on popular shows like NBC's Heroes, Netflix's Real Rob with Rob Schneider and Comedy Central's Mind of Mencia.

Hrithik Roshan's 17-Year-Old Son Hridaan Runs From Paps As They Scare Him; Fans ANGRY
A viral video shows paprazzi chasing after Hridaan Roshan as he runs away from them and looks upset. Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan and his ex-wife Sussanne Khan are proud parents to two sons — 19-year-old Hrehaan and 17-year-old Hridaan. Both boys usually maintain a low profile and are rarely seen in the public eye. As such, anytime the boys make a public appearance, the internet laps it up. However, a recent incident with Hridaan has left fans in shock. A viral video shows paparazzi chasing Hridaan after the boy spots them and runs away from them. The cameras don't stop clicking even after Hridaan sits in his car and looks visibly upset by the attention. The video shows how the young boy is uncomfortable around the shutterbugs, who continue to chase him. Have a look here: The video has angered fans, who took to Reddit to express their hot takes. One person wrote, 'Paps should be notified by the police against stalking, esp minors." Another added, 'Wish people took a stronger stance against these vultures. I know often celebs hire them themselves, and that is a separate discussion, but the ones who stalk someone and make their lives uncomfortable should have firmer actions against them." One comment read, 'I used to follow these pages when they would genuinely spot a celeb, and it was interesting to watch. I unfollowed them years ago when they just went nuts." Another comment mentioned, 'Why would you run after a barely legal child like that!? He legit seemed a little scared and accosted." Another added, 'It's so uncomfortable to watch… Bilkul sharam nahin aa rahi inhe… Bloody vultures." A comment mentioned, 'Poor kid. He is being hounded. This is a crime…The way this child ran to a safe place is really sad. It's a crime to harass people like that." Another read, 'Poor kid. I also remember the Internet being so creepy towards his looks as a minor, lots of weird comments from clearly middle-aged women. This is literally harassment." One person wrote, 'Wtf is wrong with paps? Literally, middle-aged men running behind a minor and traumatising him. This should be an offence. Do these people know the concept of personal space?" This incident has once again raised questions about the paparazzi culture in India, and when do spotings become an invasion of space. This incident has especially angered netizens due to Hridaan's age. Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan are yet to react. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Are the most stable relationships the ones that start as friendships?
Pyaar dosti hai?Bollywood had already soft-launched the idea in our heads, low-key. And let's be honest - shipping (read: teasing) good friends as romantic partners is still very much a high-school a rite of passage, dating styles have evolved. Navigating love in today's time can be confusing without a rulebook: situationships, breadcrumbing, ghosting, dating without commitment - the labels are Amid all this, there's an interesting shift: according to a survey of 1,500 people by dating app Happn, 43 per cent of Indians believe the best relationships begin as friendships. In fact, 39 per cent of singles believe that friendships that do take a romantic turn tend to be more survey highlights that from platonic to poetic, friendship-first romances are trending and maybe even thriving. But are they truly more stable? Are friendships the secret prequel to a happily-ever-after? What better than to weigh in some expert intel pyaar dosti hai?What is love? There is no absolute. It's subjective and can get as poetic as you want it to to experts, friends-first relationship initiations are actually often overlooked, and the majority of research is focused on 'romance that sparks between strangers.' According to a study titled The Friends-to-Lovers Pathway to Romance, the majority of people not only prefer the friends-first initiation, but it is super prevalent as now, you are probably imagining Rahul-Anjali, Monica-Chandler or perhaps Lily and Marshall too! Looks like the entertainment industry backed on the trope way before science did! Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Photo: IMDb) Does that mean relationships that start in the "friend zone" are truly more stable? Experts say yes.'Friendship, along with shared values, lays the foundation for love. Even in arranged marriages, it's crucial to work on being good friends first,' explains Suvarna Varde, a relationship therapist and couples counsellor, to India what's the real fuss about being friends first? Emotional safety is the survey highlights that nearly 48 per cent of singles over the age of 35 believe emotional safety and shared understanding lay the groundwork for romantic potential. Varde agrees, noting that relationships rooted in strong friendships foster emotional safety - something essential for the long can also help couples navigate bumps along the of trust, respect, communication issues, unresolved conflicts - these are a few basic problems that create tension between romantic partners. A feeling of disconnect lingers. And while there's no success formula in any relationship, these conflicts are often less messy when love starts in the friend exactly? Because the foundation of a good friendship lies in communication, emotional stability, trust, and are numbers for it too:52 per cent of people agree that friendship is a strong base because partners know how to handle each other's moods better.28 per cent say it feels more honest and less 19 per cent emphasise that they feel more at a time when loneliness is dubbed a silent epidemic, such bonds can be good for mental health as well. Studies claim that people who have such close confidants are more satisfied and less likely to suffer from a flip sideWhat is foolproof in life, really? This too comes with its it feels chill, comfy, and cosy, you might just forget to keep the spark alive. That's the flip side - it risks best friends with your partner can be the biggest flex, but it can also lead to a slow fade, where you start taking each other for granted. Ultimately, it depends on how you choose to move forward. 'Assuming 'we're best friends' as an excuse to stop prioritising romance, flirting, or desire—over time, one partner is bound to feel taken for granted,' says Varde. Comfort in a relationship should not lead to complacence (Photo: Pexels) advertisementHowever, when there's effort, playfulness, intimacy and physical connection, the bond what if it doesn't work out?Can you ever truly remain friends with your ex? Varde says it starts with asking yourself, 'Why do I want to stay friends?''If it's to keep them close or hold on to hope, it's unfair to both parties, and friendship cannot be restored. It makes healing from the breakup practically impossible.'Even if the relationship began as a friendship, past romantic feelings can complicate boundaries and expectations. Staying in touch too soon will almost certainly blur those boundaries and delay notes a common pattern among Gen Z: they often continue socialising with their exes and expect their current partners to be okay with it. 'They're also at risk of falling back into old patterns, facing commitment issues, and making comparisons. As a therapist, I tell my clients that distance, space, and healing are crucial before attempting a friendship.'advertisementWhile every situation is unique, rebuilding a friendship after a romantic relationship requires emotional maturity on both sides. Often, it's wiser to let go - with love and respect, she all said and lovedeing in a relationship just because it's easy or convenient can lead to disappointment, as core physical and emotional needs often go unmet, Varde cautions. It's not just about sex - it's about feeling wanted, close, and connected with your partner. A relationship thrives when emotional connection aligns with physical drama, more trust, and vibes that last. So yes, SRK may have given us a line that stayed - but friend zone or not, that's a plot twist each individual must write for themselves.- EndsTrending Reel
