When Ahaan Panday Refused His Connection To Chunky Panday: "Nowhere Related To Him"
New Delhi: Ahaan Panday has been popular earlier for his Dubsmash videos. Currently the actor is riding sky high on the success of his debut film Saiyaara by Mohit Suri and alongside Aneet Padda. However in a throwback Instagram Live session that has resurfaced, Ahaan Panday had once said that he's "nowhere related to him" when asked about Chunky Panday. What's Happening Back in 2017, Chunky Panday's nephew and Ananya Panday's cousin Ahaan Panday had gone live on Instagram to interact with his followers. When a fan asked him about his connection with Chunky Panday, apparently it bothered Ahaan Panday a bit. According to reports, he had responded to it by saying, "It's funny that my surname is Panday, but I'm nowhere connected to him. My dad is Aloke Sharad Panday, and that's the only Panday connection I have. I have established myself in the B-town through my popularity." The Internet was left a bit bemused as Ahaan Panday's father Chikki Panday is Chunky Panday's younger brother. That makes Ahaan, Chunky Panday's nephew indeed. However, since the blockbuster opening to Ahaan Panday's debut film Saiyaara, the whole Panday family has been his strongest support system, celebrating his success as he begins his journey in Bollywood. About Saiyaara Saiyaara is rewriting box office rules with its stellar numbers from day one. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's debut film is now one of the top five highest-grossing films of the year. The list includes names like Vicky Kaushal's historical saga Chhaava (Rs 601 crore), Akshay Kumar's franchise hit Housefull 5 (Rs 183 crore), Ajay Devgn's formula hit Raid 2 (Rs 173 crore), and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 163 crore) which is touted as the spiritual sequel to the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. The film has been produced by Yash Raj Films. In A Nutshell Ahaan Panday had once defied his extended family connections with Chunky Panday. However, with his debut film Saiyaara doing very well, the whole Panday family has been by his side.

Cardi B Sued For Throwing Microphone At Fan During Las Vegas Concert In 2023
Last Updated: Cardi B is facing a lawsuit from a woman who claims the rapper threw a microphone at her during a 2023 Las Vegas performance. Rapper Cardi B is facing a lawsuit after allegedly injuring a fan by throwing a microphone at her during a live show in Las Vegas in July 2023. The incident occurred at a beach club, where the artist was performing in extremely hot weather. A video from the event quickly went viral online. According to Billboard, the fan, who is going by the name Jane Doe in legal papers, says Cardi B had asked the audience to splash her with water to cool her down. Jane Doe claims she followed this request and gently tossed her drink toward the stage, something several others in the crowd were also doing. What the Lawsuit Says But things took a turn when Cardi B allegedly threw her microphone at the woman in response. The lawsuit says Cardi's reaction was unexpected and violent. 'Multiple attendees responded in kind, throwing drinks toward the stage, several of which visibly reached Cardi B and the surrounding performance area," the lawsuit states as quoted by Hindustan Times. 'Plaintiff, acting by the environment created by Cardi B's express words and conduct, and in a manner consistent with other attendees, splashed a small portion of her drink in Cardi B's direction. In apparent anger and without warning, Cardi B suddenly and forcefully threw her microphone directly at the plaintiff," the complaint adds. The woman says the mic hit her and caused physical injuries. She also says she suffered emotional distress and was harassed online after the clip went viral. Her condition worsened when the microphone was later auctioned for $99,000 (approximately Rs 85 lakh). Jane Doe is also suing the Las Vegas beach club where the performance took place. She claims the staff failed to keep the crowd safe and should have known Cardi might act out, especially since the lawsuit says she had thrown a mic at a DJ just one day earlier at the same location. 'What has been written off as a joke by many people is a traumatic experience that has significantly impacted my well-being and quality of life," Jane said in a public statement as quoted by Hindustan Times. 'I'm seeking justice in the hopes of holding Cardi B accountable for her misdeeds, as no celebrity is above the law," she added in her statement. Her lawyer, Cierra N. Norris, is expected to hold a press conference in Las Vegas. Reportedly, Jane Doe has chosen to stay anonymous due to ongoing mental health struggles and fear of public backlash. Cardi B's Team Responds Cardi B's lawyer, Drew Findling, has denied all claims, calling the lawsuit a money grab. 'The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County District Attorney's Office closed this matter for insufficient evidence a long time ago, but the opportunity to try to make money off of a celebrity was too much for some willing law firm to pass up," he said.
