A viral video circulating online shows the actress fumbling as her driver prematurely started driving the vehicle before she had fully seated herself.
In the widely shared footage, Genelia is initially seen ensuring that children are safely inside and seated in the car. She then proceeds to get into the vehicle herself. However, just as she was about to step in, the driver unexpectedly put the car in motion. The actress appeared to lose her balance for a fleeting moment, but quickly regained her composure. The driver, realizing the situation, immediately brought the car to a halt.
After the incident, Genelia was observed politely waving goodbye to the paparazzi before driving away.
The viral video prompted a flurry of reactions from netizens, many of whom expressed concern for the actress's safety and opined that the driver should have exercised more caution.

The incident served as a stark reminder to online viewers about the importance of vigilance when entering or exiting vehicles.

‘Poor taste': Amul topical features viral ‘kiss cam' couple from Coldplay concert, netizens disapprove
A Coldplay concert recently sent the Internet into a frenzy after a pair of concertgoers appeared on the jumbotron at the venue, also called the 'kiss cam'. As the meme fest continues, Amul, India's beloved dairy brand, too jumped on the bandwagon. While Amul's advertisements are often well-received, the new ad featuring the 'Coldplay couple' has not landed well on social media. The kiss cam footage from the concert had triggered a scandal as it involved Astronomer's then-CEO Andy Bryon and Kristin Cabot, the company's HR head. Amul's new poster features a doodle of the controversial couple, with the iconic Amul girl on the side. It also included a cheeky reference to the iconic song from the 1973 Hindi film Bobby. 'Hum tum ek camera mein bandh ho! (You and I are locked in a camera.) Only Scoops, no oops!' the text on the ad read. Sharing the post, Amul wrote, 'Amul Topical: Couple caught on 'kiss cam' at Coldplay concert!' See the viral post here: Amul Topical: Couple caught on 'kiss cam' at Coldplay concert! — (@Amul_Coop) July 21, 2025 However, the ad did not sit well with several social media users, who slammed the brand for stooping low. 'Not expected amul to join this Coldplay couple meme bandwagon,' a user wrote. 'This is in poor taste for your standards, please don't fall for such trending topics,' another user commented. 'What's this, why this? Not expected from the Amul creative team,' a third user reacted. Meanwhile, a new video of Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin, has emerged in which he warns concertgoers of the jumbotron seconds before the viral moment. In the footage, Martin is seen saying, 'Now what we would like to do is say hello to some of you. The way we're going to do that is, using our cameras, you can look at the screens and we can see who is out there and say hello. Let's go looking, please.' 'Either they are having an affair or they are just very shy. I hope we didn't do something bad,' he quickly said after the camera panned onto Byron and Cabot. Following the scandal, Astronomer released an official statement informing that Andy Bryon resigned as the CEO.

After Ahaan Panday and Vedang Raina, influencer Tanzeel Khan joins the doppelgänger multiverse as Saiyaara release breaks the internet
Just when fans were recovering from the visual déjà vu between Bollywood's new heartthrobs Ahaan Panday and Vedang Raina, social media dropped a wild twist, Tanzeel Khan, the OG internet creator, joined the mix. And no, this is not a joke. It is giving triplet energy in high definition. First Ahaan, then Vedang... now Tanzeel? Internet declares a doppelgänger trifecta The memes were already thriving when Ahaan's Saiyaara stills were placed next to Vedang's brooding poses. Wavy hair, sharp jawlines, intense gazes, the resemblance was unreal. But now, Instagram reels are showing Tanzeel's close-ups... and the internet is spiralling. Fans swear these three are the same man just rebranded in different aesthetics. Who is Tanzeel Khan & why is everyone suddenly talking about him? If you have been on the internet since the days, you already know Tanzeel Khan. He was that smooth-transition king, part of the iconic DAMNFAM clan with Mrunu Panchal, Anirudh Sharma, Manav, and Unnati. But he didn't stop there, Tanzeel also dipped into music, dropping soulful tracks and carving a solid space in the indie scene. Fast forward to now, and Tanzeel is going viral for something completely different: looking like Ahaan Panday's twin from another timeline. Reels with side-by-sides of Tanzeel and Ahaan have fans screaming in the comments, claiming the resemblance is 'too damn uncanny to be real.' Social media is in meltdown mode after Saiyaara's release It started with people casually pointing it out. Now it is a full-blown meme war. X (formerly Twitter) is flooded with 'Ahaan-Vedang-Tanzeel' edits, wild conspiracies, and even movie plot suggestions. One user joked, 'Can we get a Bollywood thriller with all three playing conmen brothers who do identity swaps?' Honestly, sign us up. Finally we got the male counterpart of Raveena Tandon-Twinkle Khanna The viral caption that really broke the internet? 'We got the male version of Raveena-Twinkle. But now there's a third one. Is this a glitch in the matrix or Bollywood's best prank yet?' Meanwhile, Saiyaara is slaying the box office In case you forgot how this madness started—Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is now the highest-grossing Hindi debut film ever with Rs 83 crore in just three days. And all this without traditional pre-release promo. Director Mohit Suri clearly knew what he was doing, just like Aashiqui 2 days. And while Ahaan and Aneet take over cinemas, Tanzeel Khan is taking over timelines. Maybe it is time for Bollywood to cast all three and give the internet the chaotic cinematic crossover it deserves.
