"After Watching Saiyaara...": Memes Fly As UK's F-35B Takes Off From Kerala
Battling bad weather and critically low fuel, the pilot diverted to the nearest safe airstrip, Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram airport, where the Indian Air Force facilitated an emergency landing and extended full logistical support.
Since then, the 100-million-pound warplane was grounded, waiting for a team of UK-based specialists to diagnose and fix the issue. The repairs were finally completed this week, and after receiving the all-clear on Monday, the jet took to the skies again early Tuesday.
The departure lit up social media. The jet led to a flood of memes once it finally left.
A user joked on X, sharing a clip of the takeoff with the caption, "F-35 after watching Saiyaara."

Saiyaara Box Office Day 9: Ahaan Panday's debut enters Rs 200 crore club, surpasses Housefull 5
Something quite rare is happening at the box office, Ahaan Panday's debut film Saiyaara has not just survived the second weekend slump, it's grown stronger. The Mohit Suri-directed romantic musical, co-starring Aneet Padda, has emerged as a surprise blockbuster of the year. On its second Saturday (Day 9), the film collected an estimated Rs 25.5–26.5 crore, showing a strong 40% jump from its already solid second Friday earnings of Rs 18.5 crore. That takes its total to a whopping Rs 219.25–220.25 crore, according to early estimates. What makes this more impressive? Saiyaara is now only the second Bollywood film in 2025 to cross the ₹200 crore milestone, after Chhaava. Other highly anticipated releases like Sitaare Zameen Par, Raid 2, Housefull 5, and Sikandar couldn't breach the mark. How does it compare with other 2025 hits? Here's a snapshot of the top Bollywood grossers of 2025 (so far): Chhaava – Rs 615.39 crore Saiyaara – Rs 219.25–220.25 crore (est.) Housefull 5 – Rs 198.41 crore Raid 2 – Rs 179.30 crore Sitaare Zameen Par – Rs 165.39 crore Box Office breakdown: Day by day Day 1 – Rs 22 crore Day 2 – Rs 26.25 crore Day 3 – Rs 36.25 crore Day 4 – Rs 24.25 crore Day 5 – Rs 25 crore Day 6 – Rs 22 crore Day 7 – Rs 19.50 crore Day 8 – Rs 18.50 crore Day 9 – Rs 25.5–26.5 crore (est.) What's driving the buzz around Saiyaara? A debut hero, a soulful soundtrack, and Mohit Suri's romantic storytelling seem to be the winning combo. The film's strong word-of-mouth, coupled with a young fanbase and repeat audience, is fueling its momentum. If the pace continues, Saiyaara might just give even bigger films a run for their money. All eyes are now on its 10-day total and whether it can inch closer to the Rs 250 crore milestone in Week 2.
