Following his successful debut in the romantic drama 'Saiyaara', the young actor recently marked his birthday not with a grand party, but with a sincere gesture of gratitude towards the people who made his dream year possible: his devoted fans.
A Grateful Star's Birthday Message
Choosing a personal and heartfelt route, Ahaan took to Instagram to share his feelings.

His caption read: “Thank you for all the wishes, (And thank you to all the people who made this year what it was) All love here always :*”. This simple yet powerful message highlighted his appreciation for the unwavering support he has received since the beginning of his cinematic journey.
Co-Star Aneet Padda's Poetic Tribute
Adding to the emotional weight of the day, Ahaan's 'Saiyaara' co-star, Aneet Padda, shared an extensive and deeply personal tribute on her social media. She posted a series of adorable pictures and videos, accompanying them with a lengthy, poetic note that offered a glimpse into Ahaan's character beyond the camera.
Her tribute painted a picture of a thoughtful and kind individual. She wrote about seeing passersby smile at his laughter, observing his unique perspective that finds beauty in the mundane, and witnessing the deep trust and affection he earns from those around him, including her own parents.
“I’ve seen the world stop and stare at you before it knew why. Before it met its saiyaara on a movie screen. You were always a star,” she expressed. Concluding her moving post, she added, “Happy birthday ahaana, i will always be proud of the person you are. Thank you for giving the world the gift of you.”
The 'Saiyaara' Launch Pad
This wave of affection follows the actor's widely noticed entry into Hindi cinema. Ahaan Panday made his official Bollywood debut in director Mohit Suri's 2025 film 'Saiyaara', starring opposite Aneet Padda. The film was not only a launchpad for the newcomer but also a commercial success, performing well at the box office.
Audiences and netizens were particularly charmed by the palpable on-screen chemistry between the lead pair, which played a significant role in the film's positive reception. The success of 'Saiyaara' has cemented Ahaan's position as a rising Gen Z heartthrob with a promising future in the industry.
