Ahaan Panday Finally Breaks Silence: Are He and Aneet Padda More Than Friends?
After weeks of speculation about his off-screen chemistry with Saiyaara co-star Aneet Padda, Ahaan Panday has finally spoken out. In a recent conversation with GQ, the rising actor cleared the air around their rumored romance, revealing where things truly stand between them.
“Aneet Is My Best Friend,” Says Ahaan
Putting an end to the dating chatter, Ahaan explained that his bond with Aneet is built on friendship, mutual trust, and understanding—not romance.
“The whole internet thinks we’re a couple, but we’re not,” he shared. “Aneet is my best friend. Chemistry isn’t always romantic—it’s about feeling safe and seen. Even though she isn’t my girlfriend, I’ll never have a bond like I have with her.”

A Bond Rooted in Shared Dreams
Ahaan also revealed that their connection began long before Saiyaara became a hit. The two bonded over a shared love for Paulo Coelho’s quote: “It’s the possibility of a dream coming true that makes life interesting.” According to Ahaan, both of them dreamed this success into reality together—a moment that deepened their personal and creative connection.
Saiyaara’s Phenomenal Success Fuels Curiosity
The dating rumors gained traction after Saiyaara’s spectacular success at the box office. The film has grossed over Rs 500 crore worldwide, earning widespread acclaim for its music, heartfelt storytelling, and the fresh pairing of Ahaan and Aneet. Their palpable onscreen chemistry has made fans root for them beyond the screen, sparking endless discussions online.
What’s Next for the Promising Duo
Following their blockbuster debut, both stars have lined up major projects ahead. Ahaan will headline an Abbas Ali Zafar-directed YRF film opposite Sharvari Wagh, with Aaishvary Thackeray as the antagonist. Meanwhile, Aneet is stepping into Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe as Shakti Shalini, marking another milestone in her fast-rising career.
