Ahaan Panday Mimics Ranbir Kapoor In Viral Video; Fans Dub Him 'Bollywood's Next Superstar'
Ahaan Panday is enjoying a dream start in Bollywood with his debut film Saiyaara turning out to be a blockbuster. The Mohit Suri directorial, co-starring Aneet Padda, has already smashed several box office records within days of its release. As the spotlight firmly rests on the industry's newest heartthrob, fans are drawing comparisons between Ahaan and Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor.
Interestingly, this comparison isn't entirely new. Before stepping into films, Ahaan Panday had gained popularity on Dubsmash, where he recreated famous Bollywood scenes. Some of his most viral clips were inspired by Ranbir Kapoor's films. From mouthing the lyrics of Channa Mereya to dancing on Bachna Ae Haseeno and Dilliwaali Girlfriend, Ahaan seemed to be an unabashed Ranbir fan in those early videos.
One clip even sees him performing the intense dialogue from Rockstar, and fans are now sharing these snippets on social media with the caption 'Ranbir 2.0". In fact, many netizens are convinced that Ahaan's screen presence and charm mirror a young Ranbir Kapoor. One user wrote, 'He's got the Ranbir vibe. Raw, emotional, effortless."

Another video that's gone viral again is Ahaan lip-syncing Shah Rukh Khan's iconic monologue from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While some fans praised his performance, the clip had earlier been trolled when it surfaced two years ago on Reddit. However, the conversation around it has now shifted, with many admiring how far he has come from social media skits to big-screen success.
In 2025, after three years of preparation and training under the Yash Raj Films banner, Ahaan finally made his acting debut. Saiyaara, produced by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri, has been met with immense love from the audience. The music, especially the title track, has contributed significantly to the film's appeal.
As old videos of Ahaan flood social media once more, fans seem to agree on one thing, Bollywood has found its next big romantic hero.

BTS Members Can't Stop Posting Jimin On Instagram; ARMYs Call Him ‘Angelic Flower'
BTS' J-Hope, RM, and V shared new Instagram posts featuring Jimin, leaving ARMYs emotional and dubbing him the group's 'angelic flower.' Even as BTS member Jimin continues his silent streak on Instagram, his bandmates J-Hope, V, and RM are making sure fans get their daily dose of him. Despite recently deleting two beloved posts from his own account, Jimin remains ever-present on social media — thanks to his friends in BTS who can't help but include him in their own uploads. On August 5, J-Hope took to Instagram to share a photo dump from his time in Los Angeles. Among the many aesthetic visuals, ARMYs quickly spotted Jimin lounging on a chair, absorbed in his phone while soaking in the sun. RM also shared moments from the same LA trip, including a serene image of himself walking with J-Hope and Jimin by the sea. Even though the photo showed them from behind, fans instantly recognised the trio. Meanwhile, V also updated his Instagram on August 4. Apart from his moments with Jungkook, fans spotted Jimin relaxing in a swimming pool in one snap. V also shared an Instagram story of Jimin standing on a bicycle — another visual treat for Jimin-starved ARMYs. EVERYONE IS IN LOVE WITH JIMIN — 뱅스 (@army__tww) August 5, 2025 Fans took to social media to express how Jimin isn't just loved by ARMYs but by his own members too. One user gushed, 'Jimin is angelic flower." Another declared, 'Everyone is in love with Jimin." A third ARMY quipped, 'They don't even let us sleep because they're updating us all the time… thanks guys for giving us Jimin content since he appears on other IGs that aren't his." Many fans were left awestruck by Jimin's youthful appearance. 'Jimin's skin is glowing and his hair looks glorious. He is healthy and happy," one fan noted. Another added, 'In less than a day, four photos of Jimin have been released, and you don't know whether to hold onto your heart or your breath." Jimin, who is currently in Los Angeles along with his BTS mates, is reportedly working on their highly anticipated comeback album, which is slated for release in spring 2026. While fans eagerly wait for his solo posts to return, they're more than happy getting glimpses of him through the lens of his friends.

Optical illusion drives internet wild: Only 1 in 10 can spot the snake hiding in this photo
A new optical illusion is blowing up across Reddit, and it is leaving many scratching their heads. Shared under the 'Find the Sniper' subreddit, the image dares viewers to spot a snake that's perfectly camouflaged among twigs, rocks, and dry leaves. It is not just a fun puzzle; it is actually kind of impressive how the snake blends in so well, you'd almost step right over it in real life. Can you spot the hidden snake in the picture?(Reddit/r/FindTheSniper) Spot the snake This tricky illusion is not your usual 'find the odd emoji' type puzzle. It is real photography, raw nature, and the challenge is serious. The snake in question is believed to be a type of pit viper, possibly a copperhead, though users are still debating that. What makes it so tough to spot? It is blending in with the surroundings so well that it is nearly impossible to spot it. Nature's version of Photoshop, basically. Also read: Optical illusion: Only 1 out of 10 people can spot the hidden car in ten seconds The brain relies on patterns, light contrast, and motion to detect living creatures in the wild. But when those patterns are disrupted, or hidden in plain sight like this, the mind kind of short-circuits. The illusion works by playing with something known as visual camouflage, and it is a survival technique animals like snakes have evolved for millions of years. Optical Illusion answer While some users said they spotted the snake within 10 seconds, others spent minutes before giving up entirely. It's that well hidden. And if you want a hint, look very closely at the black pipe under the window, connecting the two devices; the snake is black in color, therefore camouflaging perfectly with the black pipe. FAQs Q1. Where is the snake hiding in the image? A: The snake is cleverly camouflaged on the black pipe, under the window. Q2. Why is this optical illusion so difficult? A: The snake's colors and patterns match the natural background almost perfectly. It tricks the brain by using camouflage, making it hard to spot at first glance. Q3. What makes this image an optical illusion? A: It plays on visual perception by hiding the snake in plain sight using natural patterns. Your eyes may skim past it without realizing it's there.

Pamela Anderson Repeats Claim Sylvester Stallone Offered Her Condo, Porsche To Date Him
Last Updated: Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, the Baywatch icon stood by her story, originally shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. Pamela Anderson has once again addressed her explosive claim that Sylvester Stallone once offered her a Porsche and a condo in exchange for being his 'No. 1 girl." Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, the Baywatch icon stood by her story, originally shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. Host Andy Cohen brought up Stallone's denial of the incident, asking Anderson, 'What do you think about him denying it?" To this, the 58-year-old actress simply replied, 'Well, how could you make that up? That was pretty specific." Cohen then lightened the moment by asking if a different car might have swayed her. 'Maybe like a Shelby Cobra or something?" he joked. Anderson laughed and replied, 'No, no, no, no, no." In Pamela, a Love Story, the actress had claimed, 'I remember talking to Sylvester Stallone one time and he offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his No. 1 girl. And I was like, 'Does that mean there's a No. 2? Uh-uh.' He goes, 'That's the best offer you're gonna get, honey. You're in Hollywood now.'" She added in the film, 'I wanted to really be in love. I didn't want anything less than that." Shortly after the documentary aired, a representative for Stallone denied the story in a statement to PEOPLE, calling Anderson's remarks 'false and fabricated." 'Mr. Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement," the rep asserted. Meanwhile, both stars have moved on in their personal lives. Stallone has been married to model Jennifer Flavin since 1997. Anderson, meanwhile, has sparked romance rumors with her Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson. Cohen even teased their budding romance on the show, saying, 'All of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say."
