Ananya Panday's cousin and her husband are making so much money through YouTube and Instagram, they won't have to work ever again after five years
Influencer couple Alanna Panday and Ivor McCray posted a new video on their YouTube channel recently; in the video, they answered frequently asked questions from their followers, including how much money they make as social media influencers. Alanna and Ivor have over 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube, while Alanna has over 2 million followers on Instagram. Alanna is the cousin of actor Ananya Panday. In their new video, Alanna said that they make enough to 'pay our bills, fill our bellies with food, and save and invest the rest'.
In the video, the couple was asked quite directly about how much they make as influencers. Alanna said, 'All I'll say is that how much we make is more than enough to live the life that you guys are seeing online. We are completely financially independent, we pay all our bills. We have saved up enough to buy our house, we have bought our car. It's more than enough to live the life that you see.'

Ivor offered some more insight into their earnings, and said, 'The goal is that, within five years, if we're on the right path, we wouldn't have to work again if we didn't want to. This ideology was passed down to me by my father and grandfather. My grandfather was actually a very wealthy man, but nobody knew. He would wear the most raggedy clothes and drive a beat-down car, and the guy was a millionaire. He came from a lot of wealth, but didn't want that lifestyle for his kids. He never wore his money. He told my dad, and my dad told me.'
Ivor said that he has learned to never talk about finances with anybody. 'He told me two things: you don't talk about finances and you don't talk about politics.' Alanna and Ivor tied the knot in India a couple of years ago, and their wedding was attended by the who's who of Bollywood, including Shah Rukh Khan. Alanna and Ivor welcomed their first child, son River, last year. They also appeared together in the Prime Video reality show The Tribe. Alanna's brother, Ahaan Panday, is gearing up to make his acting debut in a film produced by Yash Raj.

God told Cardi B to date Stefon Diggs, and she didn't hesitate to follow the sign
Cardi B says God told her to give Stefon Diggs a chance (Getty Images) In an age where relationships are often broadcast like highlight reels and Instagram captions double as love letters, Cardi B has taken an entirely different route. Her recent voice note on X (formerly Twitter) wasn't just another celebrity confession—it was raw, spiritual, and deeply human. With the honesty of a diary entry and the impact of a sermon, Cardi peeled back the layers of her evolving relationship, one that fans believe involves Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Was it fate? Cardi B claims God pushed her toward NFL star Stefon Diggs And this isn't your typical Hollywood love story. According to Cardi, this connection wasn't sparked by slick DMs or flashy meet-cutes. It was orchestrated by something—or someone—much bigger. 'I'm with the person that I am with now because sometimes, I don't know, like, I just feel like God would tell me to give him a chance,' she admitted, with a vulnerability rarely seen from the Bronx-born rapper. 'Which is so weird.' Rapper Cardi B reveals she dated Stefon Diggs because God told her to (Instagram0 In just those few words, Cardi transformed her story into something far deeper than tabloid fodder. After enduring emotional ups and downs, particularly surrounding her long-standing and often-public rollercoaster with Offset, she found herself in a quiet space where someone showed up—not for fame, not for clout, but for her. She detailed those silent struggles: moments of depression, nights of uncertainty, and mental spirals that felt endless. But right then, when she needed it most, came an unexpected yet consistent presence. 'When I had those weird episodes, that's when a n***a would like hit me up or text me out of the mood, checking on me and stuff like that.' There were no fireworks. Just genuine check-ins. In a world that's loud, his care was quiet—and that, Cardi seems to suggest, was what made all the difference. Before fans connected the dots, long before Instagram posts and matching vibes made it official, she was doing something she hadn't done in a while: building slowly. This wasn't about replacing one headline with another. It was about rediscovering trust. 'I built a friendship,' she shared. 'I got to know the person. They get to know me. We still getting to know each other.' For someone whose life has often played out on stages and timelines, this grounded, spiritually-guided journey feels refreshingly different. It's not about perfection—it's about presence. And Diggs, now a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, seemed to understand that perfectly. Cardi and Diggs finally went Instagram official last weekend, ending weeks of speculation. Her heartfelt livestream, shared by Live Bitez, showed a softer side fans adored. Many rushed to the comments with love. 'Cardi u dont owe us no explanation!' one user wrote. 'Even if it don't end in marriage, at least you had fun!' This new chapter hasn't been without noise, though. Offset, her ex and father of her children, took a subtle jab by tweeting, 'Good roll out n PR. Today I pass.' Diggs countered with an icy flex—posting a photo of himself mid-catch with the caption, 'We good...' Still, the noise seems irrelevant to Cardi. Because for her, this wasn't about performance. It was about peace, presence, and perhaps, divine timing. If anything, her story reminds us all—sometimes, healing arrives not with fireworks, but with a quiet text at the right time.
