'Almost Got Fired': Kartik Aaryan's Hilarious Take On Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal

NDTV4 days ago
Kartik Aaryan has given a playful twist to the viral Coldplay controversy involving former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot. At the Boston concert on July 18, Byron and Cabot were caught in an intimate moment on the stadium's kiss cam. While Byron ducked and Cabot instinctively covered her face, the clip sparked a frenzy online, leading to a social media storm. And like many others, Kartik Aaryan joined the bandwagon with his own hot take.
The actor posted a video on Instagram imagining what the kiss cam would have recorded if he were caught instead. The scenario? "Fitness freak Kartik Aaryan cheating on his diet" by indulging in a chocolate bar.
The reel opens with footage from the original concert, where Coldplay 's Chris Martin quips, "Either they are having an affair or they are just very shy." It then cuts to Kartik enjoying a few scrumptious bites of chocolate, before he realises, he is in the spotlight. Panicked, he spits out the chocolate, rushes off-screen, and returns moments later wielding dumbbells, launching into a spontaneous workout. His caption summed up the drama: "Almost got fired."

This isn't the first time Kartik Aaryan has let food steal the scene. During the shoot of his upcoming movie 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri', co-starring Ananya Panday, the actor shared a delicious glimpse of his on-set indulgences at Nawalgarh Fort in Rajasthan.
He tucked into a traditional Rajasthani thali, brimming with local flavours. Neatly arranged on a plate were small bowls of dal baati churma, kadhi, mixed sabzis, and a fresh salad. The meal came complete with steaming rice, chapatis, and a tempting plate of dahi vada.
To top it off, Kartik moved from savoury to sweet. He indulged in decadent chocolate Swiss rolls, generously dusted with cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Alongside, there was a bowl of blueberries and another dessert crafted with chocolate chip dip, crumble, and a nutty topping. Read all about it here.
Whether it is rustic Rajasthani fare or cheeky dessert bites mid-concert fantasy, Kartik Aaryan's foodie moments never fail to entertain, and of course, resonate.

MAGA singer's Canada gigs cancelled: Backlash over Sean Feucht's anti-diversity views; organisers cite safety risks

Sean Feuch (Picture: Instagram) US singer Sean Feucht's permit to hold a concert at the York Redoubt National Historic Site in Halifax was cancelled this week by Parks Canada. Officials cited safety concerns following public backlash against his anti-2SLGBTQ+, anti-women's rights, and anti-diversity remarks on social media. Feucht, a religious performer with links to the MAGA movement, was scheduled to perform on Wednesday. His permits for other events in Charlottetown (P.E.I.), Moncton (New Brunswick), and some parts of Quebec were also revoked soon after. LGBTQ+ groups welcomed the decision. Cameron Cassidy, head of Pride P.E.I., said, 'The City of Charlottetown absolutely did the right thing by revoking that permit. It shows respect for the queer community.' But not everyone agreed. James Turk, director at Toronto Metropolitan University's Centre for Free Expression, said cancelling a permit over a person's views is dangerous. 'The foundation of democracy is public discourse, including ideas we disagree with,' he said. 'Censorship only amplifies such voices.' Feucht later performed at a private venue in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, hosted by pastors Christine and Neil Barr. They said they faced hundreds of hate messages and some protests but went ahead with the show. In response to criticism, Feucht posted: 'If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, no one would've cared. But my Christian beliefs are seen as a threat.' Opponents said his views go against Parks Canada's values of inclusion and safety. Turk countered that while physical safety must be ensured, 'a subjective feeling of being unsafe' isn't legal grounds to silence someone.

Adam Sandler himself publicly praised Kelce's performance, calling him 'funny and cool as hell' and 'a stud' during a television interview. Sandler said Kelce was easy to work with and had 'great comedic instincts,' which explains why the cameo has become a highlight of the sequel.

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.
