As newbie Ahaan Panday is basking in the success of his debut film, Saiyaara, an old video of the actor has gone viral on the internet in which he can be seen eating 'fried scorpion' for the first time. The video seems to be from Thailand, and he was accompanied by brother-in-law Ivor Mccray.

In the video, the two boys can be seen exploring a food street in Thailand, famous for different kinds of grilled meats, including that of crocodiles, scorpion and other creatures. Ahaan can then be seen trying a plate of grilled scorpion, and at first he did struggle with it, before finally eating it.

"It tastes like pizza. I swear to God bro," he can be heard telling Ivor as the latter laughed and recorded him.

The video is now splashed all over the internet, and while Ahaan must have archived a lot of his old posts on social media ahead of his debut, the incident makes it clear that what goes on the internet once stays on the internet forever.

Netizens reacted to the video, with most of them calling it "disgusting". "Bharat badal raha hai (sic)," an X user commented, while another exclaimed, "Chhi yaar, chinese kha lete (sic)."

About Ahaan Panday

Ahaan marked his Bollywood debut with Mohit Suri's romantic musical, Saiyaara, and it shattered all records at the box office. He is the son of Chikki Panday and Deanne Panday, and the nephew of actor Chunky Panday.

Ahaan is also the cousin of actress Ananya Panday.

The young star, who has been away from the limelight for the past couple of years, reportedly underwent extensive training before making his big Bollywood debut.

Saiyaara's box office success

Meanwhile, Saiyaara, starring Ahaan and Aneet Padda, wreaked havoc at the box office. The film opened with Rs 21 crore, thus registering the highest-ever box office numbers for a romantic film headlined by newbies. People likened its craze and business to that of Hrithik Roshan's debut, Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai.

Despite being up in theatres for over two weeks now, it is going strong at the box office and giving tough competition to new releases like Dhadak 2 and Son Of Sardaar 2. So far, Saiyaara has earned Rs 299.75 crore at the domestic box office.
