Bollywood's newest on-screen pair, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, have set social media abuzz once again after their recent public appearance together. The co-stars of the blockbuster film 'Saiyaara' were spotted enjoying a dinner outing at a popular Mumbai restaurant on Friday night, immediately reigniting speculation about their relationship status.
The Paparazzi Encounter
Viral videos capturing the evening show both actors leaving the restaurant separately, appearing completely taken aback by the waiting paparazzi. While Aneet Padda looked bewildered by the sudden camera attention, Ahaan Panday displayed visible annoyance as flashes erupted around them. The unexpected media presence created an awkward moment for the young stars as they attempted to make their exit.
However, photos circulating from inside the restaurant tell a different story. Both Ahaan and Aneet appeared cheerful and relaxed as they posed candidly with the restaurant staff and chefs. Fans quickly noticed that Ahaan was carrying a camera during their dinner, sparking curiosity about whether the actor was documenting special moments from his evening with Aneet.
Addressing the Romance Rumors
This latest public appearance comes just days after Ahaan Panday directly addressed the dating speculation in an interview with GQ magazine. The rising star openly discussed his close bond with his co-star while firmly denying any romantic involvement. "Aneet is my best friend," Ahaan clarified, acknowledging the widespread internet theories about their relationship.
The actor provided insight into their unique connection, explaining, "The whole internet thinks we're together, but we're not. Chemistry isn't always romantic; it's about comfort, safety, and being seen." He emphasized the special nature of their bond, adding, "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."
Professional Success with Saiyaara
On the professional front, both Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda made their spectacular Bollywood debuts with the film 'Saiyaara.' The romantic drama proved to be a massive commercial success, becoming one of the biggest box office hits of 2025. The film achieved the remarkable distinction of dethroning all other romantic films to claim the number one position as the highest-earning romantic film of all time in Indian cinema history.
The incredible chemistry that fans witnessed on-screen between Ahaan and Aneet in 'Saiyaara' appears to have translated into a genuine off-screen friendship. Despite Ahaan's clear denial of romance, their continued public appearances together keep fans hopeful about the possibility of their relationship evolving beyond friendship.
