The honour, driven entirely by audience interest, recognises their remarkable rise on IMDb’s Popular Indian Celebrities list – a spot determined by the browsing patterns of over 250 million monthly visitors worldwide.
In Mohit Suri’s romantic drama Saiyaara, produced by Yash Raj Films, Panday debuts as Krish Kapoor, a musician seeking redemption, while Padda shines as Vaani Batra, a journalist battling her personal demons.

Making history, they also secured global recognition, with Padda ranking #64 and Panday #75 on IMDb’s Top 100 Most Popular Celebs list, marking a rare achievement for Indian co-stars.
Reflecting on the milestone, Ahaan Panday expressed gratitude:
“This is my first acting award, and the fact that it comes directly from audiences means the world to me. IMDb was a portal into world cinema for me as a kid, and being honoured here feels surreal. I thank Adi sir and Mohit sir for believing in me and Aneet for being the perfect co-star.”
Similarly, Aneet Padda shared:
“Winning my first award from audience votes makes it extra special. Playing Vaani has been one of the most intense and rewarding experiences, and I’m grateful to my co-star Ahaan and our entire team for this magical journey. I can’t wait to bring more stories to life.”
