Ahaan Panday, a known face from Dubsmash days, is charming and good-looking and reminds you of his uncle Chunky Panday from his younger days. Ahaan off screen charming persona is familiar to those who are regular on social media, but on screen, he plays a troubled and arrogant man who has too much angst to make it big. It's only when he meets Vani (Padda) that he realizes his true calling and finds love. Ahaan plays the part well, even though at some point, one feels his dialogue delivery needs more work,'' <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/saiyaara-review-ahaan-panday-and-aneet-padda-make-a-promising-debut-in-mohit-suri-s-clich-love-story-1752836743810">read the review here:&nbsp;</a></p>

Springer, 28, caught the Astronomer CEO with the company’s HR in a compromising moment as the two were seen “cuddling” at the Coldplay concert. She posted the video on her social media, without realising that the video would reach over 50 million views. Who is Grace Springer? Springer, a Coldplay fan who is located in New Jersey, talked about the viral video with The Sun, stressed that Byron has received a blunt lesson, saying, “Those who play stupid games...win stupid prizes.” Springer travelled to Boston with her friends to attend the Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium. “It was definitely a hot topic, but no one knew who they were,” she said. She stated that she never planned on creating a controversy; however, they ended up in one. Springer added that she had no clue who the couple was, and she shot the video as she caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam. Besides defending the video she filmed, Springer said that a part of her feels sorry for turning the lives of the two people upside down. “A part of me feels sorry for these people, but in the end, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.” She further felt pity for their partners, saying that she hopes “they heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve.” “I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise.” The ColdplayGate explained On Wednesday night, an amazing Coldplay night turned into something unimaginable for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot. Chris Martin, the frontman of Coldplay, was at the centre stage when the kiss cam game was played on the Gillette Stadium. In seconds, the camera tilted and was right on Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot. The two are married, but not to each other, which created further chaos and controversy at midnight. As he realised, Byron immediately dipped from the spot, following which, Cabot also left the frame as they panicked. Martin got the hint and said, “Oh, look at these two. Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy! Following this, the internet was flooded with memes on the ColdplayGate. According to reports, Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, dropped the surname from her Facebook amid the ongoing controversy.

<p>After Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's alleged affair was exposed during Coldplay's July 16 Boston show, an X user claimed that the band would launch a crowd area without cameras during their future performances. The user, using the handle name @MikeBeauvais, uploaded a screenshot of an alleged Coldplay post with the words, “A thoughtful decision by Coldplay.” With more than 6.6 million views, 225K likes, and 13K retweets, the post went viral on X. The post, however, is not true even though it has gone viral.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A thoughtful decision by Coldplay. <a href="https://t.co/hvBwn9xdfX">pic.twitter.com/hvBwn9xdfX</a></p>&mdash; Mike Beauvais (@MikeBeauvais) <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeBeauvais/status/1945865732748722537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 17, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>The doctored screenshot shows that Coldplay did not make such a declaration on their verified X handle on July 17 or at all prior to or subsequent to that date. Andy Byron and the woman he was allegedly having an affair with were on camera during Chris Martin's kiss cam challenge with the crowd.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another fake tweet of the Byron incident has been made public by the spoof account @DailyNoud. The tweet says that the CEO allegedly sought help from rapper Future after his alleged affair was exposed. Not only did CEO Andy Byron become a news item with his widely circulated video from Wednesday's Coldplay concert, but netizens also noticed the woman he was seen with in the video.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The woman has reportedly been identified as Kristin Cabot, the Chief People Officer of Astronomer and Byron's colleague. Cabot came on board the data-software company last November 2024, following over two decades of experience in the people and culture leadership sector. Cabot was previously married to Kenneth Thornby, but the two announced their divorce in 2018. The divorce was later formally sealed in 2022. Cabot's LinkedIn profile summarises her as a "passionate people leader known for building award-winning cultures from the ground up for fast-growing startups and multinational corporations."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Andy Byron and Megan Kerrigan Byron have two children. Both Cabot and the Byrons have not commented on the rumors of the Astronomer CEO's rumored infidelity.</p>

<h2>The ColdplayGate explained</h2><p>On Wednesday night, an amazing Coldplay night turned into something unimaginable for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot. Chris Martin, the frontman of Coldplay, was at the centre stage when the kiss cam game was played on the Gillette Stadium.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In seconds, the camera tilted and was right on Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot. The two are married, but not to each other, which created further chaos and controversy at midnight.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As he realised, Byron immediately dipped from the spot, following which, Cabot also left the frame as they panicked. Martin got the hint and said, “Oh, look at these two. Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy!"</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Following this, the internet was flooded with memes on the ColdplayGate. According to reports, Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, dropped the surname from her Facebook amid the ongoing controversy.&nbsp;</p>

Social media users on Instagram have been roasting Coldplay for not posting the kiss cam footage of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Head Kristin Cabot, as the band shared the highlights of concert on Instagram. 

After the video of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Head Kristin Cabot went viral on social media, Coldplay took to Instagram to share highlights from their Boston concert held on Wednesday (July 16). However, what grabbed netizens' attention was not just the glimpse from the event, but people started asking why the band had not posted the most viral moment of the concert. The comment section of the post was flooded with reactions, with people asking, "Anything else happen at this show?" One of the users commented, "Nice, did anything else happen?" While another wrote, "I mean I love me some Coldplay… but we can all agree why we’re here?” A third user jokingly said, "They will probably never listen to Coldplay again", referring to Andy Byron and the company’s HR Head, Kristin Cabot. One of the users mocked the two, saying, “Coldplay released two new singles that night.” Another user praised the cameraman for the perfect timing, saying, “Everyone here after the affair picture.” A user also wrote, “I was there- it was wild!! Imagine being caught by Chris Martin?!”

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bollywood is going back to classic romances after years and it feels refreshing. The audiences in the past month have been treated to love stories and anthologies in Anurag Basu’s <i>Metro In Dino </i>and Vivek Soni’s <i>Aap Jaisa Koi</i> recently, and now Mohit Suri’s <i>Saiyaara</i> focuses on young love. Suri, who has made a name for creating musicals and angsty love stories, returns to his comfort zone and collaborates for the first time with Yash Raj Films- another name synonymous with Bollywood romances. The film marks the debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and looks and feels like <i>Aashiqui 3</i> with similar romantic ballads, drama, angst, and love.

The two may be different, yet they both are drawn to each other due to troubled past. She is heartbroken after a broken engagement; he has an alcoholic father (Varun Badola) to take care of.

Ahaan off screen charming persona is familiar to those who are regular on social media, but on screen, he plays a troubled and arrogant man who has too much angst to make it big.

Saiyaara

<h2>What does not work</h2><p>Mohit Suri sticks to his template of troubled men and women, who are too emotional and sappy in love. It’s a trope that he has used in too many of his previous films and hence the plot of <i>Saiyaara</i> is predictable to an extent. A lot of plot points do not make sense. Krish is shown to be struggling in the beginning, and because of his temper, he often loses out on lucrative deals. Vani is from a middle-class family and is now interning at a media house. However, the two seem to be able to afford a dreamy villa by the beach as their love nest. Vani’s overprotective parents seem to be okay letting go of their daughter with a problematic man to live in as a grave crisis hits the family.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film's ending is underwhelming and slightly abrupt and so is the climax, almost convincing me that writer Sankalp Sadanah got exhausted after writing such an emotionally heavy story.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film, however, rises above these flaws. It has a solid lead pair who, despite being new, ably carry the film on their shoulder. They can act, and they are unlikely hero and heroine of YRF – Panday is able to rise above the nepo kid tag with his performance and that’s a plus. So, does it serve as the new age <i>Aashiqui </i>for Gen Z? Yes, it does.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Saiyaara </i>is now playing in theatres across the country.&nbsp;</p>

Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday are not the usual YRF leads. In Mohit Suri's new film, Saiyaara, which is backed by YRF, they play relatable 20-somethings who fall in love despite being very different from each other.
