Is this Jack Ma? Billionaire and Alibaba co-founder seen riding bicycle in China's Hangzhou — Viral video
In a viral video that has captivated millions across X(formerly twitter), billionaire co-founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma was recently spotted enjoying a bicycle ride on the empty streets of Hangzhou. The footage recorded by a woman and posted by an X user named Dott Orikon, shows Ma, known globally for his entrepreneurial prowess, pedaling casually without any visible security around him. Posted the video, an X user said, 'Although he has retained his position as CEO, his story reminds me of China's Last Emperor, who was pardoned after the revolution (despite collaborating with the Japanese) and became a simple gardener.' This statement compares Jack Ma to Puyi, China's last emperor. Puyi after losing his imperial power and even collaborating with the Japanese, was eventually pardoned and lived his remaining life humbly by being a gardener. The video garnered attention from several X users. Some people raised concerns about his safety as he was seen riding on the roads alone at night. The road also appeared quite empty in the posted video. A user also questioned China's safety, by stating, 'A simple gardener with billions in the bank, is China so safe that billionaires like him don't need body guards?' X user comment on the post While another user mirrored this concern and said, 'Dangerous to be biking at night.' Some users also questioned his sudden disappearance, adding in their theories. A user fueled this thought by stating, 'Unless he can give an interview and have people vouch he is alive, have to assume bad things happened to him.' Another person said, 'I thought he has disappeared. When did he reappear in public and why did he go missing for a while?' All the questions about Jack Ma's disappearance emerged after he started maintaining extremely low public life in late 2020 following regulatory crackdowns in China. His reduced visibility was also fueled by his critical comments on China's financial system. Ma lost more than half of his fortune after the incident, which also caused the suspension of Ant Group's IPO where he had 9.9% stake, according to CNN.

Synopsis Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is currently making waves. The romantic musical stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu praised the film. Other Bollywood celebrities also shared positive reviews. Saiyaara's box office numbers are impressive. The film is produced by Yash Raj Films. Netflix has acquired the digital rights. The OTT release date is awaited. Agencies Mahesh Babu's glowing praise for Saiyaara has added star power to the debut film of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The romantic musical, directed by Mohit Suri, has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike. In an industry where newcomers often struggle to make their presence felt, Saiyaara has emerged as a refreshing exception — one that's breaking norms, box office records, and expectations alike. The romantic musical, helmed by Mohit Suri and released in theatres on July 18, has not only struck a chord with audiences but also found a surprise admirer in Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. Taking to social media, the actor shared a heartfelt endorsement of the film, calling it 'a beautifully made film with honest storytelling, standout performances, and top-notch execution.' Quoting his post from X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, 'Take a bow #Saiyaara team… Big love to #AhaanPanday & #AneetPadda for living their roles so effortlessly… This one deserves all the love coming its way.' The statement has added a new layer of credibility and excitement to what was already being celebrated as a promising debut for its lead stars. — urstrulyMahesh (@urstrulyMahesh) At the centre of this cinematic wave is Ahaan Panday — nephew of actor Chunky Panday — who makes his big screen debut as Krish, a passionate singer with a turbulent past. Alongside him is Aneet Padda, playing Vaani, a character navigating heartbreak, renewal, and self-discovery. Together, they breathe life into a narrative that walks the fine line between emotional depth and youthful exuberance. Their on-screen chemistry, coupled with Mohit Suri's evocative direction, has turned Saiyaara into more than just a musical — it's a heartfelt journey of healing, ambition, and rediscovered love. The film follows Vaani as she tries to rebuild her life after being abandoned at the altar, only to cross paths with Krish, a musician nursing emotional wounds of his own. What unfolds is a tender story of connection, resilience, and the courage to love again. Beyond Mahesh Babu, industry voices have been vocal in their admiration. Alia Bhatt, Arjun Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, and Rasha Thadani have shared glowing tributes on social media, while actor Harshvardhan Rane called the film 'a melodious love story that shatters all formulas.' Even filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga reportedly sent director Mohit Suri a personal message after watching the film. According to Sacnilk, Saiyaara opened with an impressive ₹21 crore, followed by ₹24 crore on day two. With the weekend closing in, the film is projected to touch ₹73 crore — numbers that many seasoned stars would envy in today's challenging box office climate. Produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, the film has also secured a digital home with Netflix, although the OTT release date is yet to be confirmed. This move is expected to widen its reach, especially among young audiences resonating with its chart-topping music and modern emotional themes.
