Ahaan Panday's candid confession goes viral; says sister Alanna made him try first cigarette at 16; Read more
Ahaan Panday
basks in the success of 'Saiyaara's blockbuster success, a resurfaced throwback video is letting fans in on a more unfiltered side of the rising star. In a now-viral clip from Alanna Panday's YouTube channel, Ahaan reveals with a cheeky grin, 'When I was 16, Alanna called me into her bathroom and she made me try my first cigarette.
'
Alanna, clearly caught off guard, jumps in to protest, 'You can't say this sh*t, man. He's lying. I am telling you. He's making me sound like such a bad sister.' Her laughter and flustered denial only fuel the playful chaos. She later admits, 'I was just excited that I had discovered something, and I wanted to share it with him.'
Fans can't get enough of his quirky charm
The banter doesn't stop there. Ahaan doubles down on his story, adding, 'I'm not lying.
I was 16. I had underdeveloped lungs, and you are giving me cigarettes, all out of love.' The clip left fans in splits, especially those newly charmed by his performance in Saiyaara.
Another hilarious moment in the video has Ahaan claiming he 'lived in a corridor' for seven years. Alanna quickly counters, 'It was not a corridor. It was a room built.' Ahaan, unfazed, shoots back, 'It was a room built in a corridor. Everyone would see me in my towel every day.'

Archana Puran Singh's son Aaryamann fixes a virtual date with girlfriend Yogita Bihani, father Parmeet Sethi crashes it: ‘Kya zamana aagaya hai'
Actor Archana Puran Singh's son Aaryamann recently started a 30-day vlog challenge on his newly launched YouTube channel. In one of the vlogs, he revealed he is dating Vikram Vedha actress Yogita Bihani. Upon hitting the 100k subscribers mark just 23 days after starting his channel, Aaryamann created a special video. While he gathered his entire family to thank his viewers for subscribing to his channel and helping him achieve this milestone ahead of the release of his song, he expressed that he missed his girlfriend. In the vlog, he said, 'I am feeling a little sad because Yogita is not here. We will try to fix that. I have a virtual date planned with her after this.' The term 'virtual date' sounded odd to his father Parmeet Sethi, who quickly reacted, 'Yeh kuch nayi cheez suni maine abhi (This is something new).' A shy Aaryamann replied to his father, 'Keep up with the times dad.' Expressing his love for his son, Parmeet Sethi shared, 'Arey mera beta set hogaya guys, mai toh bada khush hu (My son has been settled, I am extremely happy).' Later, Parmeet crashed Aaryamann's virtual date and asked, 'What is this? Yeh kya ho raha hai? (What's happening)?' An annoyed Aaryamann said, 'My date has been crashed guys.' He then explains to his father, 'Yeh humara virtual date chal raha hai papa (This is our virtual date, Papa). Thank you for interrupting but we were just talking about you.' A seemingly confused Parmeet said, 'This is virtual date? Yeh kya zamana aagaya hai? (What has this generation come to?)' He then told his son, 'You should have met her in person. What do you even mean by virtual date?' ALSO READ | Kriti Sanon's skincare brand achieved Rs 400 crore in two years: 'Targeting at Rs 1,200 crore next' With Parmeet still around, Yogita said, 'Mere ghar mein bhi noodles bane hai (They have made noodles even at our place).' This surprised Parmeet, who said, 'Kya baat hai, itni tuning abhi se hi? Iski aaj tak toh humarein sath tuning ho nahi paa rahi. (Wow! You guys share a great tuning already. He still struggles to adjust with us.) We ask him to eat veggies, and he says, 'I need paneer'.' After Aaryamann shooed his dad away, he spoke about how Parmeet and Archana reacted to Yogita entering his life, 'Everybody were very sweet. They all loved Yogita. They already knew her as an actress. Mumma would often say, 'She is such nice actress. She does such great work. She is very hard working.' When I told her I am dating her, she was like, 'Tere sath hai woh? She is with you)'?' Archana was quite shocked. Yogita shared her side of the story, and said, 'When I told my mom about Aaryamann, she was like, 'Is he the same guy you messed with your hair in his music video?'' She even revealed that her father has recently subscribed to Aaryamann's YouTube channel and addresses him as Aary Ji. She shared, 'Papa told me, 'Dharmendra jaise vibe hai iss ladke ki thodi. Dharmendra jaise lagte hai yeh. If he does a little workout, he will start to look like Dharmendra.' I was like 'Yeah, Papa.' She added, 'At my place, people address Aary as Aary Ji.' A shy Aaryamann then ended his vlog by saying, 'I think our date ka time is up now because your brother would want his room back. And I respect that. Please don't occupy his room.' Yogita laughed and said, 'Mera pura khandaan pagal ho chuka hai (My entire family has gone crazy).'

Randeep Hooda mourns the loss of his cherished horse, Ranji, who lived to the age of 23. Rescued from a difficult start after being rejected by the army and facing a grim future, Ranji became a champion show jumper under Hooda's guidance. Actor Randeep Hooda took to social media this week to bid an emotional farewell to his beloved horse , Ranji, who passed away at the age of 23. Known for his deep bond with animals, especially horses, Hooda shared a moving tribute recalling Ranji's remarkable life and enduring spirit. Ranji's journey was far from ordinary. Once rejected by the army for being undersized and nearly condemned to pulling tangas after a failed eye operation, he was rescued just in time and went on to become a champion show jumper under Hooda's care. Named after Maharaja Ranjit Singh Gaekwar due to his one functional eye, Ranji remained spirited and full of life till the very end. 'He came into my life outta sheer destiny and made my life so much richer,' wrote Hooda. 'He took me flying over many obstacles, sometimes with my eyes shut for fear of it, and won me many medals.' Ranji had battled Laminitis, a painful and often fatal condition in horses, but bounced back multiple times with the support of dedicated grooms and veterinary care. Hooda fondly recalled his companion's mischievous energy, even in his final moments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Legendary Cars from the Past Undo 'He still needed two grooms to hold him for a walk… he even tried to jump out of the stable on his last night as if he wanted to fly away.
