Ahaan Panday's Bihari Cuss-Laced Clip From Acting Workshop Goes Viral; Fans Are Surprised
Ahaan Panday's old acting clip resurfaces online. Watch him channel Tiwari with paan, cuss words, and full swag—before Saiyaara made him a star. Ahaan Panday may be basking in the glory of his blockbuster debut Saiyaara, but fans are now discovering a lesser-known chapter from his acting journey. A throwback video of the actor—long before the red carpets and box office records—is going viral on Reddit, showcasing a younger Ahaan, just 18 years old, channeling raw passion during an acting workshop. In the resurfaced clip, Ahaan is seen in character as 'Tiwari', complete with a rustic Eastern UP/Bihari accent. The video begins with him getting into makeup, followed by his animated delivery of lines like, 'Arey tumko kaahe bataye bhaiya?" while interacting with another actor dressed as a cop. When asked 'Tera haal kaisa hai re?", Ahaan playfully replies, 'Nikle the hum halwa khaane," in full local swagger. Another segment shows him sitting in a car, responding to 'Ae Tiwari!" with cheeky cuss words while mimicking the mannerisms of a pan-chewing small-town goon. The clip, raw and unfiltered, offers a rare glimpse into Ahaan's early experimentation with character work. This resurfaced moment contrasts beautifully with his current standing as Bollywood's breakout star. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara has become a box office juggernaut, earning over ₹278.5 crore net in India within just two weeks of its release. The film's global gross has now crossed the ₹400 crore mark, making it the highest-grossing Hindi romantic film of all time, surpassing Kabir Singh's lifetime earnings. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara earned ₹6.5 crore on its second Thursday alone, and continues to draw strong footfall despite stiff competition from new releases. To celebrate the film's historic run, Ahaan and co-star Aneet Padda recently jetted off to Bali, where fan videos and photos flooded social media. In one viral clip, a female fan is visibly emotional meeting the actor, while another captures Ahaan humbly thanking his supporters. He was also spotted wandering the streets of Bali in an all-white ensemble, exuding laidback vacation charm. Released on July 18, 2025, Saiyaara tells the story of Krish Kapoor, a struggling musician, and Vaani Batra, a writer navigating themes of love, loss, and healing. The film features a talented ensemble including Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola, Sid Makkar, Alam Khan, and more. With soul-stirring music, sweeping visuals, and emotionally charged storytelling, Saiyaara has struck a chord with audiences around the globe.

‘Son of Sardaar 2' movie review: Ravi Kishan and Deepak Dobriyal outdo Ajay Devgn to keep this goofy comedy kicking
After watching Dhadak, one finds a serious layer in this infantile sequel to Ajay Devgn's tribute to his Punjabi roots as well. The writing plays on the Bollywood Sardar stereotype, one who is innocent, stands his ground, and doesn't show his back in a battle. Lest we forget, the makers ensure the word Punjabi keeps popping up in the dhol-centric background score as well. After a long wait for a visa, when the simpleton Jassi (Ajay) comes to London, he discovers that his wife Dimple (Neeru Bajwa) has decided to ditch her. Lost, he strikes a chord with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a Pakistani musician who runs a wedding band with a transgender musician, Gul (Deepak Dobriyal), and Mehwish (Kubra Sait), as well as her foster daughter, Saba (Roshni Walia), after being ditched by her philandering husband, Danish (Chunkey Panday). When Saba falls in love with the heir of the Sandhu family, Rabia convinces Jassi to play Saba's father, leading to a series of endless and politically incorrect gags. The Sandhu family is led by Raja (Ravi Kishan). who hates Pakistanis and loves Indian army men, forcing Jassi to play a colonel and channelise the spirit of Sunny Deol of Border and Gadar. Son of Sardaar 2 (Hindi) Director: Vijay Kumar Arora Cast: Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Deepak Dobriyal, Sharat Saxena, Mukul Dev, Vindu Dara Singh, Neeru Bajwa, Kubra Sait Duration: 147 minutes Storyline: Jassi goes to London and falls in love with a Pakistani girl. Regarding depth, here too, women are seen as the repository of the family and country's honour. The philandering Pakistani feels bad only when Indians win over his wife and daughter (Roshni Walia). To his credit, director Vijay Kumar Arora finds ways to incorporate long live the neighbour into the script in these frosty times, but does little to build on the crazy plot. On the bad boys' side, there is an attrition over the Punjabi, Bihari, and English wives of the rakish patriarch of the family, played by Sharat Saxena as Raja, who nurses a grudge against his father for being closest to his English pole dancer wife and ignoring his Bihari mother. There is a class tussle in the loony comedy because Raja is grumpy because he could neither speak Punjabi nor English fluently. In the livestock business, he judges men by their breed. Too much social context! As the unlikely sardar, Ravi, who was brought in as a last-minute replacement for Sanjay Dutt, fills the screen with unrehearsed energy and finds his groove in the company of Mukul Dev and Vindu Dara Singh, who were part of the original. Dev, who passed on recently, impresses with his comic timing. The star of the show, however, is Deepak. As he discusses gender fluidity with Jassi, he finds method even in the most madcap moments. Aided by technology, Ajay is in great shape, but comedy doesn't come naturally to him, and in the presence of Ravi and Deepak, his comedy comes across as a little too broad. The talented Mrunal gives it all and perhaps sees it as her vehicle for mass entertainment. However, despite strong performances, in between the jokes that land, there are long passages that make you cringe and question your professional choices. After two sons, one hopes the makers have completed the Sardar family! Son of Sardaar 2 is currently running in theatres
