‘This guy makes the best papad': Denmark woman confuses Amitabh Bachchan as ‘papad maker'; netizens can't keep calm
A Denmark woman hilariously confused Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan with Bhujia makers, Bikaji, and asked if the Internet could help her connect to this 'legendary papad guy' since she was running low on her stock of papads.
In a now-viral video, Frederikke, who goes by Bhukkad Bidesi on social media, showed a packet of Bikaji papad featuring the veteran actor. She then pointed to BigB's picture and said, 'This guy makes the best papadum.'
She shared that she first tasted papad in Nepal and loves the taste of it. However, she said she was running low on them and hadn't been able to find them in Copenhagen.
'If you know him, let him know how good papadum he makes,' Frederikke said in the viral Instagram reel.
In the caption of the viral video, the influencer wrote: 'Who is this man—and why does he make the BEST papadum I've ever had?!'
'I bought this papad back in Nepal and haven't found it anywhere in Copenhagen. I'm running low… if anyone knows where to get this or who this legendary papad guy is, please help.'
Netizens were left in splits by her hilarious video and rather than pointing out the obvious, chimed in to joke about different ventures of the actor.
A social media user quipped that Amitabh Bachchan is a 'multitasker,' and said, 'He's been a coolie (porter at railway stations ) since 1983.'
Frederikke's comment section soon flooded with the veteran actor's 'tremendous work' in growing basmati rice for India Gate, saving lives in India via polio drops, and a lot more.
'He also used to grow basmati rice at India Gate, New Delhi,' a user said.
'He also used to give me polio drops. I am alive today because of him,' joked another user.
A netizen said, 'Yeah. He personally hand-rolls each papad in his Mumbai mansion. Real artisanal stuff.'
'Wait till you hear about his PVC Pipes,' quipped a user.
A foreigner said, 'That's Amita Bachan, he makes amazing Soan papdi as well (sic).'
Referring to his role in the 1999 movie Sooryavansham, a user said, 'He also owns a transport company 'Bhanupratap Bus Service'.'
'He works at a digital payment agency in India,' said another.
Some users also shared his wife Jaya Bachchan's GIFs, scolding the influencer for not knowing him, while others claimed, 'He learnt it from his wife. She makes great papadam out of paparazzi.'

When 73-year-old Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old GF Jordan Hudson stirred controversy with their yoga poses
A couple of months ago, on March 15, former Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, transformed a quiet stretch of shoreline into a lively yoga studio. Hudson, a former college cheerleader, shared a carousel of images on Instagram that depicted the pair executing challenging poses against the backdrop of ocean waves. Within hours, fans and critics alike were scrolling through every frame—from the coach lying flat in the sand to Hudson soaring overhead—to comment on their age gap. The photos depicted the two in arduous yoga poses, leading fans to hardly believe the 73-year-old coach was able to balance strength and grace in such a manner. However, Jordan, as she cheekily captioned, believed that they had '#StillGotIt.' Sun, sand and 'Billates': What did Jordan post? On her Instagram post, Hudson wrote, '#SpringBreak #UsTime #StillGotIt,' with a sun and bicep emoji. In one shot, Belichick lay on his back with legs bent, supporting Hudson as she extended her left leg straight up, toes pointed perfectly. Another image showed Hudson smiling broadly with arms and legs outstretched behind her back, demonstrating both flexibility and trust in her partner. Dressed in a white one-piece swimsuit with side cutouts, Hudson contrasted with Belichick's casual T-shirt and shorts. A week later, she followed up with a video captioned of the session, 'My favorite workout? #Billates #GoatYoga,' reinforcing their playful fitness routine. Defending their relationship after a follower calls Hudson 'insane' The yoga snaps arrived just one day after Hudson confronted a critic who labeled their relationship ' insane.' As reported by People, she reposted a direct message from a follower, stressing that harassing someone about their personal life 'is insane, right?' She also launched an Instagram Story poll on whether 'Abby's manners' or 'Abby's punctuation skills' were worse, even going so far as to tag the user. This swift response made it quite clear that Hudson was ready to stand up for their unconventional romance. Bill Belichick: From dodging questions to joking In contrast, Belichick originally remained silent on the matter. During a CBS News interview in April, he was asked about the viral yoga photos with Hudson. Rather than answer, the 73-year-old refused to engage with the question, and Hudson abruptly ended the interview. The awkward exchange made headlines, especially as scrutiny around their relationship built up. As per Page Six, he remained tight-lipped again during a later Good Morning America appearance, where Michael Strahan asked, 'What does Jordon mean to you?' Belichick briefly replied, 'We have good personal relationship,' before firmly adding, 'I'm not talking about personal relationships, Michael.' Finally, on The Pivot podcast released on May 16, 2025, the famously stoic coach lightened up. When asked once more about the beach yoga photos, he reportedly smiled and said he did it because he was 'trying to stay young'—a quip that offered rare insight into a relationship he had previously kept firmly out of bounds.

Bobby Sherman died at 81.(AP) His wife Brigette Sherman announced the news of her husband's demise via actor John Stamos' Instagram handle since they are good friends.. 'From one ex teen idol, to another - rest in peace, Bobby Sherman,' wrote Stamos on the post. Brigette's message was mentioned below his caption. 'It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman,' Brigette wrote. 'Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That's who Bobby was —brave, gentle, and full of light.' She goes on to add that while he was restingin his last days, she "read him fan letters from all over the world," which included 'words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished.' 'And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes — Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners,' she continued. 'To those who truly knew him, Bobby was something much more. He was a man of service. He traded sold-out concerts and magazine covers for the back of an ambulance, becoming an EMT and a trainer with the LAPD. He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like — quiet, selfless, and deeply human,' Brigette concluded.
