The magical chemistry that Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda displayed in their film 'Saiyaara' has now translated into a real-life bond that's capturing everyone's attention. The duo recently received an award together, and their emotional speeches about each other have set the internet abuzz with speculation about their relationship status.
Ahaan's Grateful Acceptance Speech
During his acceptance speech, Ahaan Panday opened up about the challenges he faced on his journey to success. He acknowledged that many people had tried to obstruct his path, but he took a heartfelt moment to thank those who supported his rise to fame through 'Saiyaara'.
Ahaan expressed special gratitude toward his parents, saying he knew they would be watching and feeling very happy about his achievement. He particularly thanked filmmaker Mohit Suri, stating that Suri had given him life and opportunities beyond his wildest dreams.
The young actor also recognized Shanoo Sharma for standing by him and believing in his potential despite numerous naysayers. He extended his appreciation to Aditya Chopra for providing the entire platform and thanked the complete team behind 'Saiyaara'.
Ahaan didn't forget the film crew, acknowledging their often thankless job and emphasizing that the project wouldn't have been possible without their hard work. He concluded by thanking the press and audience, stating that the award meant the world to him.
Aneet's Emotional Tribute to Ahaan
Aneet Padda spoke with visible emotion as she recalled her long journey in the industry and how Ahaan became an integral part of it. She shared how deeply he had contributed to everything she felt and accomplished during the making of their film.
Aneet revealed she had been chasing a particular feeling since she was ten years old, and she could safely say that Ahaan had given her that "forever and ever" feeling. She emphasized that without him, the film might not have happened, and she wouldn't have experienced all the emotions she did during the process.
The actress highlighted how Ahaan consistently supported her during difficult times on set, always having her back when challenges arose. Her speech reached its emotional peak when she looked directly at Ahaan and delivered the line that quickly went viral: "It's the best feeling in the world to be on the stage with one of the best men in the world."
The Dating Rumors Intensify
Since 'Saiyaara' released in July 2025, fans have been equally fascinated by the pair's personal rapport as their on-screen presence. The romantic drama introduced both as fresh faces, and audiences immediately connected with their compelling chemistry.
Soon after the film's release, speculation began mounting about whether their friendship was evolving into something more romantic. Every public appearance together, whether at restaurants or airports, sparked new waves of rumors across social media platforms.
The speculation gained additional momentum when filmmaker Karan Johar addressed the topic during Sania Mirza's podcast 'Serving It Up With Sania'. When asked about the pair, Johar playfully responded that they weren't officially together yet, and he hadn't checked recently whether that status might change.
Ahaan Sets the Record Straight
Amid the growing speculation about their relationship, Ahaan decided to clarify his equation with Aneet in an interview with GQ India. He stated clearly that Aneet is his best friend, not his girlfriend, despite what the internet might believe.
The actor explained that chemistry between people isn't always romantic—it can also be about comfort, safety, and feeling seen by another person. He emphasized that they had both provided these feelings for each other throughout their collaboration.
Ahaan concluded by affirming that even though Aneet isn't his romantic partner, he would never have another bond quite like the one they share.
What's Next for the Rising Stars
The tremendous success of 'Saiyaara' has raised expectations for both actors' future projects. Ahaan Panday is set to appear next in an action-romance film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, while Aneet Padda will be seen in her upcoming project 'Shakti Shalini'.
Their professional trajectories continue to generate excitement among fans who fell in love with their screen partnership and remain curious about their off-screen relationship, whether it remains a deep friendship or evolves into something more.
