Aneet Padda, the rising Bollywood star who made her debut with "Saiyaara" in 2025, is currently making headlines for a resurfaced comment on Timothée Chalamet's Instagram post from seven years ago. The comment, which reads, “Just frickin confess your love to me already. Thank you,” has gone viral, revealing the actress's long-held admiration for the "Dune" star.
The old Instagram post features Chalamet in a black-and-white photo, covering his face with his hands and captioned "IuOmO," which translates from Latin to "The Man". Padda's playful comment suggests that she has been a fan of Chalamet since her teenage years, around the age of 17 or 18. Fans have found the comment endearing, offering a glimpse into the Bollywood star's childhood crushes.
Padda's journey to Bollywood stardom began long before her breakout role in "Saiyaara". Before her success, Padda appeared in commercials and had a small role in Kajol's film "Salaam Venky". She also made her OTT debut in 2024 with the web series "Big Girls Don't Cry". Her performance in "Saiyaara" has been a defining moment in her career, opening doors and boosting her confidence as an actress.
Following the success of "Saiyaara", Padda has been busy with brand endorsements and has several projects in the pipeline. She is confirmed to star in Maddock Horror Comedy Universe's "Shakti Shalini", where she will play one of the main characters. She will begin filming at the end of January 2026. Reports indicate that Padda has taken over Kiara Advani's role, bringing a fresh perspective to the narrative. "Shakti Shalini" is slated for release on December 24, 2026.
Despite her rising fame, Padda remains grounded, with many praising her down-to-earth personality. The actress, who hails from Amritsar and comes from a middle-class family, attended Spring Dale Senior School and Jesus and Mary College in Delhi. She began her modeling career before transitioning to acting.
The resurfaced comment has created a wave of enthusiasm online, with fans enjoying the lighthearted and relatable side of the "Saiyaara" star. It highlights that even celebrities have their own idols and moments of teenage admiration. As Padda continues to make her mark in Bollywood, this viral moment serves as a reminder of her journey from a fan to a celebrated actress.
