Viral video shows Aaron Rodgers high on ayahuasca in Brazil and fans are losing it
Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers seen in ayahuasca ceremony in Brazil, video goes viral. Just when Steelers fans were warming up to the idea of Aaron Rodgers wearing black and gold, the universe reminded us: this man is unhinged in the most Aaron Rodgers way possible. A resurfaced video showing Rodgers high on ayahuasca during a spiritual retreat in Brazil has gone viral and the internet has no chill. Some fans are in awe, some are concerned, and others? Well, they're just wondering what the locker room is going to think. The viral clip shows Aaron Rodgers mid-ceremony, deep into an ayahuasca experience in Brazil The now-viral footage shows Rodgers in what looks like a traditional ayahuasca ceremony somewhere in Brazil. The dim lighting, rhythmic chanting, and his spaced-out expression make it very clear: this man is deep into the trip. Turns out, it's part of his upcoming Netflix docuseries called Aaron Rodgers: Enigma and the video is from one of the ceremonies that shaped his "personal awakening." Rodgers has long been open about his use of ayahuasca, a powerful hallucinogenic plant brew traditionally used in South American spiritual rituals. It's not illegal there, but the optics? Very intense. Especially when you're the new QB for one of the most traditional franchises in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers says ayahuasca changed his life and his game If you're thinking this is a one-off weird moment, think again. Rodgers has talked openly for years about how ayahuasca helped him mentally, spiritually, and yes, even professionally. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brits Are Replacing Costly AC's With This Tiny Cooler AiraBreeze Learn More Undo He once credited it with helping him become 'a better teammate' and said it gave him the mental clarity to chase another MVP season. While most quarterbacks stick to weightlifting and tape review, Rodgers was out in the jungle sipping plant medicine with a shaman. And if you think he regrets it? Not even close. He's doubled down in interviews, saying the experience helped him find self-love and purpose. Fans are reacting exactly how you'd expect: wild takes, memes, and chaos Steelers fans were already split on signing the 40-year-old QB, and now... yeah, things are even messier. There's also a ton of confusion about how this footage got released just days after the Steelers officially announced his deal. Coincidence? Rodgers probably doesn't believe in those either. This video didn't surface by accident. It's in his docuseries. He's not hiding it. In fact, he's practically celebrating it. Now the question is: can the ayahuasca QB deliver a playoff run for Pittsburgh? Or are fans in for a whole new kind of trip?

Ananya Panday Calls Herself A ‘3/10 Actor' In Viral Video; Reddit Trolls Her Brutally
Last Updated: Ananya Panday called herself a 3/10 actor in a resurfaced video, sparking viral trolling and heated PR debates on Reddit and social media. A throwback video of Ananya Panday rating herself as an actor has resurfaced on Reddit and is going viral for all the wrong reasons. The clip, from a rapid-fire segment on Pinkvilla, features Ananya playfully struggling to rate her own acting skills. Initially hesitant, she says, 'I can't do this… Like a 3… How can I rate myself as an actor?" Her Call Me Bae co-stars Niharika Dutt and Muskkaan Jaferi try to lift her spirits, nudging her to rate herself higher. Eventually, Ananya settles on a 7 out of 10. While her response seemed candid and humorous, the internet didn't take it lightly. Redditors quickly latched onto the video, calling out what they described as another PR move. One user wrote, 'The thing is, it's actually working. People do sympathise with her. All the Insta girlies unite to defend her in any reel criticising her. Unfortunately." Another added, 'Nepotism or no nepotism—if you are focused on winning PR games instead of working on your craft, people won't watch you." A third user sarcastically chimed in, 'Even my 2-month-old can see through these PR tricks. At least be clever about it." The viral backlash has reignited debates around nepotism and image-building in Bollywood, with many questioning whether such self-deprecating moments are genuine or calculated. On the work front, Ananya Panday is gearing up for her next big release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Kartik Aaryan. The romantic comedy is already making waves, especially after the makers revealed the release date—February 13, 2026—along with a romantic poster showing the duo kissing behind an Indian passport. The film, directed by Satyaprem Ki Katha's Sameer Vidwans, is being jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures. It also marks Kartik Aaryan's return to Karan Johar's production house following their much-publicised fallout during Dostana 2. Fans are excited to see Kartik and Ananya reunite after their successful pairing in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), making this one of the most awaited rom-coms on the horizon.

"My mother worked in a film laboratory, so I understood...": Rana Daggubati on nepotism in cinema
By Palash Srivastava New Delhi [India], June 6 (ANI): Actor Rana Daggubati, known for his roles in 'Baahubali' and 'Rana Naidu', shared his thoughts about nepotism in the film industry, a point of debate abuzz in the entertainment domains for decades now. Hailing from a prestigious film family, Rana Daggubati is the son of film producer D Suresh Babu and Lakshmi. He shares a close bond with his uncle, superstar Venkatesh Daggubati and is also the cousin of star Naga Chaitanya. In an interview with ANI on Monday, Daggubati emphasised that having a film family background opens up more opportunities and provides a deeper understanding of the industry. He said, 'Any industry that your family is from, you understand it more than somebody who's not. How does it help an actor? Ultimately, you have to stand in front of the camera and act. There'll be a lot more opportunities for you. There will be an ecosystem that you understand. It's like if your family is from chemical industries or sugar factories, you'll understand how a sugar factory works and all the byproducts of sugar like that.' The 'Rana Naidu' actor's mother worked in a film laboratory and his father in a film studio. Daggubati admitted that her mother's and father's professions helped him become familiar with the basic functions of film studios and laboratories. 'My mother worked in a film laboratory, so I understood what a film laboratory looks like and how it functions. My father worked in a studio, so I understood its function, and my uncle was an actor,' said Rana. Daggubati mentioned that the 'pressure' to continue his family's legacy motivated him to do something unique, including starting his own production house, Spirit Media, in 2005. 'Pressure, in that sense, it was self-inflicted in some manner. You want to do something that is unique, new, and stands out and should stand for a long period of time. Whether it was visual effects, whether it's acting, or producing,' said Rana Daggubati. Daggubati is a vocal advocate for contemporary and art house films. Through his production house, he has supported films like 'All We Imagine As Light' directed by Payal Kapadia. He believes that his popularity has given him a platform to promote these types of films. 'Cinema is one, language never mattered to me when I was watching it as a child. So growing up and working, it didn't matter which language it was, and I feel there's a voice to all kinds of stories. The first film we made at Spirit Media was an art house film. Art house didn't have any other way to release, and I feel like now, since I got a little bit more popular, I can advocate for some cinema,' said Rana Dagubatti. Rana Dagubatti will be next seen in the second season of 'Rana Naidu'. It is directed by Karan Anshuman. Apart from the lead actor, the series also stars Surveen Chawla, Arjun Rampal and Kriti Kharbanda in prominent roles. The series is slated to release on Netflix on June 13. (ANI)
