On Arhaan Khan's podcast Dumb Biryani, his new guests were Sneh Zala and Vishal Mohan, members of Mumbai's paparazzi industry. During the episode, Sneh Zala shared a LOL incident. A big fanboy of Deepika Padukone, the paparazzo revealed that he bunked his CA classes so he could meet her. He did meet her but there is more to this LOL story. On the episode, the paparazzo said, "Till now I am a diehard fan of Deepika. Everyone in the industry knows this. They call me Deepika ka beta. Aisa bolte hain. Toh mujhe ek baar toh unse milna hi tha (They call me Deepika's son. So I had to meet her once)."
He added, "I used to track fan events. I was so involved in that. I used to bunk my CA ke classes. Matlab CA ke classes bunk karna bahut badi baat hoti hai (I used to bunk my CA classes. I mean, it is a big deal to bunk them).
He did manage to meet Deepika Padukone. "Then I went to airport also to meet her, click pictures and all. So then sab hogaya. I met her also once but then I failed in my entrance but I met Deepika." Arhaan Khan jokingly added to this, "You won in life and failed in an exam."
