Shanoo Sharma, you have stood by me and believed in me even though there were so many naysayers. Aditya Chopra, sir, you have given me this whole platform… the whole team of Saiyaara.”He continued, “The film crew, I know how thankless the job is, so thank you.

So thank you so much.”

Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday dating rumours

Ever since ‘Saiyaara’ released in July 2025, the duo have been spoken about as much for their personal rapport as their screen presence. Their romantic drama introduced them as fresh faces, and audiences instantly connected with their chemistry. Soon after the release, fans began wondering if their friendship was turning into something more. Every time the pair were spotted together, from restaurants to airports, the internet sparked with new rumours. During the podcast ‘Serving It Up With Sania’, Sania Mirza asked filmmaker Karan Johar about the pair. His reply added more fun to the guessing game. Johar said, “Well… they are not yet official, so if they are going to be, I don’t know whether or not because I haven’t checked.”

Ahaan Panday on his equation with Aneet

Amid all the talk, Ahaan decided told GQ India, “Aneet is my best friend. The whole internet thinks we’re together, but we’re not. Chemistry isn’t always romantic — it’s about comfort, safety, and being seen. We’ve both made each other feel that. Even though she’s not my girlfriend, I’ll never have a bond like I have with Aneet.”

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda on the work front
