After Ahaan Panday and Vedang Raina, influencer Tanzeel Khan joins the doppelgänger multiverse as Saiyaara release breaks the internet

Time of India5 days ago
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 Musical.ly 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 pic.twitter.com/GmW2pKVXcu
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.

Anupam Kher makes big statement on Operation Sindoor hero Colonel Sofia Qureshi, says, ‘Presented her…'

After the Pahalgam attack shook the nation, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, targeting and destroying several terrorist bases across the border. Amid the operation, one face stood out—not from the battlefield, but the briefing room. Colonel Sophia Qureshi, a high-ranking officer in the Indian Army's Corps of Signals, led media briefings, keeping the nation informed and composed during the tense period. Who is Colonel Sophia Qureshi? Sophia isn't just another officer in uniform. She made history as the first Indian woman to lead a military contingent at an international exercise. With clarity, calmness, and courage, she became the Army's voice after the Pahalgam attack. Her presence wasn't just a performance—it was reassurance. Anupam Kher meets Sophia Qureshi Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who is currently promoting his new film Tanvi the Great, recently met Colonel Sophia and shared their interaction on Instagram. In the photo, he's seen gifting her his book. His caption read, 'OPERATION SINDOOR: I was extremely HAPPY and deeply HONOURED to meet Col. #sofiyaqureshi recently and present her my fourth #SelfHelp book #DifferentButNoLess! She epitomises the grace, valour, dignity and bravery of #IndianArmy. Thank you Col. Qureshi for your warmth and appreciation! Jai Hind! #Proud' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) The post has since gone viral, with fans calling the moment 'real patriotism'. What's 'Tanvi the Great' and how is it connected? Kher's film, Tanvi the Great, which tells the story of a young girl fighting against all odds to chase her dreams, has just been granted tax-free status in Delhi, following its earlier declaration as tax-free in Madhya Pradesh. Sharing the update, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta wrote on social platform X, ' I am pleased to share that the Delhi Government has declared the film 'Tanvi the Great' tax-free in the state. With an impactful narrative of inclusion, the film is an inspiring story of a young, 'special' girl-Tanvi, who is determined to achieve her dreams against all odds. Tanvi's story is emotional and inspirational. We are committed to promoting films that strengthen the spirit of Rashtra Seva, ignites patriotism, and awakens the conscience of the nation. Best wishes to the entire team of the film. @AnupamPKher' I am pleased to share that the Delhi Government has declared the film 'Tanvi the Great' tax-free in the state. With an impactful narrative of inclusion, the film is an inspiring story of a young, 'special' girl-Tanvi, who is determined to achieve her dreams against all odds.… — Rekha Gupta (@gupta_rekha) July 23, 2025 From Colonel Sophia's real-life bravery to a film that celebrates courage in another form, this moment reminds us that strength wears many faces. Sometimes it's in uniform, other times in the cinema. But both spark something real: pride, purpose, and power.

Souza's 4 rare works to be auctioned this week

Panaji: A rare collection of four distinctive artworks by modernist painter of Goan origin, F N Souza, collectively valued at over Rs 1 crore, is set to lead the upcoming online auction by AstaGuru Auction House on July 29 and 30. The artworks include two pieces from his 'Head' series periods (1964 and 1985), a dynamic 1990 landscape, and a 1987 nude inspired by Khajuraho sculptures. 'Souza was a pioneering force in the Indian modernist art movement,' said Sneha Gautam, the director of client relations at AstaGuru Auction House. 'As a founding member of the Progressive Artists' Group in the 1940s, he was instrumental in challenging conventional Indian artistic traditions and introducing a bold modernist sensibility, especially at a time when the country was finding its distinct artistic voice. ' Gautam said, 'His work played a key role in shaping the trajectory of modern Indian art, bringing modernist styles and ideas to the forefront.' The artworks span various styles and themes that the artist concerned himself with throughout his career. The curation also showcases Souza's command of and proficiency in varied mediums. Lot No. 37 and Lot No. 42 showcase his different takes on portraiture and are reminiscent of his 'Head' series. The series featured portraits influenced by European art movements that displayed the artist's inner turmoil through the depiction of distorted faces. While Lot No. 37 is a colourful untitled work executed using acrylic on paper in 1985, Lot No. 42 is a charcoal-on-canvas work from 1964. Lot No. 56 belongs to Souza's vast oeuvre of landscapes. Executed in 1990, the oil-on-canvas work exemplifies his visceral approach to environment and structure. With a dense web of jagged lines and rhythmic brushstrokes, the composition collapses foreground and background into a frenetic tangle of green, ochre, and blue. Lot No. 84 is an untitled pen-on-paper work executed in 1987. It reveals Souza's fascination with creating nude works and the inspirations he took from the erotic sculptures of the Khajuraho temples. Captivated by the uninhibited expression of human desire found in these ancient carvings, Souza drew from their raw physicality and symbolism, particularly in his depictions of the female nude and intertwined couples. 'Characterised by assertive lines, striking colours, and a fusion of abstraction and figuration, Souza's art drew inspiration from Cubism, Expressionism, and other European movements,' Gautam said. 'His paintings frequently explored existential and religious concerns, while also offering sharp critiques of social and political structures.' She said, 'With a distinctive visual language, his use of line and colour imbued his work with dynamic tension, often evoking both intensity and unease. Souza left behind an unrivalled legacy of rebellion, paving the way for generations of artists to come.'
