As Ahaan Panday gains attention for his role in Saiyaara, old social media clips of the actor have resurfaced, reigniting online debates. One video, in particular, has gone viral and left fans sharply divided. In the footage, Ahaan appears to be on a trip somewhere in eastern Asia, where he is seen eating what looks like a scorpion. Some viewers believe it is alive, while others insist it’s fried. The truth remains unclear, but the reactions are loud and mixed.
Many Indian viewers expressed disgust at the video, finding it hard to watch. However, some applauded Ahaan for his adventurous spirit and willingness to try local cuisine. The moment shows him not just trying the food but even enjoying it. Supporters argued that he was simply exploring another culture, where such dishes are common and not seen as shocking. Yet, not everyone agreed with this perspective.
The backlash turned intense, with critics dragging his family background, ethnicity, and caste into the discussion. Some called the act shameful, accusing him of having no respect for life. Others took a lighter jab by coining the nickname “Bichhuwara,” a play on Saiyaara, mocking him as a scorpion eater. The humorous spoof quickly gained traction online, adding a layer of trolling to the criticism.
While the video has sparked attempts to cancel Ahaan, many fans are defending him. They argue that he was young and curious at the time, and that one moment from the past shouldn’t define his character. Supporters also say that celebrities are allowed to make personal choices outside their public image, especially when those choices don’t break any laws or harm others.
