Are Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda the newest B-town couple? Viral video fuels romance buzz

With ‘Saiyaara’ smashing global box-office records, all eyes aren’t just on the film, but also on its magnetic leads, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The duo’s undeniable on-screen chemistry has left fans wondering: Is there something more going on off-screen, too?
Fueling the rumour mill further, a new video of Ahaan and Aneet on a recent outing in Mumbai has gone viral. The clip shows the rising stars exiting a boutique alongside Ahaan’s mother, Deanne Panday, sparking intense speculation across social media. In a brief moment, Ahaan can be seen reaching out his hand toward Aneet, only for her to shyly avoid holding it, walking alongside the Panday matriarch instead. Watch the viral video below:
This isn’t the first time the duo has made headlines for their off-screen bond. Buzz around a shared Bali holiday had already hinted at a potential romance brewing between the ‘Saiyaara’ co-stars.
However, fans hoping for confirmation might need to hit pause. A source close to the stars told India Today, “They are friends and not dating. The success of the film has brought them closer as friends, but they’re not in a relationship.”
Directed by Mohit Suri and backed by Yash Raj Films, ‘Saiyaara’ has become a cultural phenomenon, grossing over ₹500 crore globally and delivering a chart-topping romantic soundtrack. Both Ahaan and Aneet have become overnight sensations, with their popularity keeping them constantly under the media lens.
While the romance remains unconfirmed, one thing is clear—Bollywood has found its newest on-screen power pair.
