Ahaan Panday, the latest heartthrob in Bollywood, is winning hearts not just for his debut film "Saiyaara," but also for his adorable bond with his nephew, River. A video of the actor performing a puja with River has gone viral, melting the hearts of fans across the internet.

The video, initially shared on Instagram by Ahaan's sister, Alanna Panday, captures a sweet family moment during a puja ceremony. River, Alanna and Ivor McCray's son, is seen nestled in Ahaan's lap as the family gathers to offer prayers for the success of "Saiyaara". The youngest member of the Panday family is seen supporting his "mama" (uncle) in the most adorable way possible. Ahaan is also seen affectionately kissing River on the forehead.

Social media has been flooded with comments praising the heartwarming interaction between uncle and nephew. Fans have expressed their adoration for the duo, with comments like "Cutest duo," and "This should be illegal levels of adorable…Oh my heart". Many have requested more content featuring Ahaan and River, captivated by their undeniable chemistry.

Ahaan Panday made his Bollywood debut with the romantic drama "Saiyaara," directed by Mohit Suri. The film, produced by YRF's CEO Akshaye Widhani, also marks the debut of Aneet Padda. "Saiyaara" revolves around a love story between Krish Kapur (Ahaan Panday), a short-tempered musician, and Vaani (Aneet Padda), a shy, aspiring journalist. The film has been praised for the easy chemistry between the leads and its music, with the songs becoming instant hits.

"Saiyaara" has achieved significant box office success, setting a record for the highest opening-day collection for a Hindi film with debutants in leading roles. The film collected ₹21 crore on its first day and has reportedly minted ₹24 crore.

Ahaan's performance in "Saiyaara" has been well-received by audiences and critics alike. Mohit Suri initially had reservations about casting Ahaan but was won over by his genuine personality during an unconventional audition. Ahaan's rumored girlfriend, Shruti Chauhan, and cousin, Ananya Panday, have also shared heartfelt messages on social media, celebrating his achievements. Ananya expressed how proud their grandmother would have been.

Following the film's success, Ahaan made his first public appearance, visiting Mohit Suri's house in Bandra. He kept his look simple and casual. Ahaan also penned a heartfelt note for his co-star, Aneet Padda, expressing his admiration for her talent and hard work.

The success of "Saiyaara" has not only launched Ahaan Panday's career but has also highlighted his endearing off-screen persona. The viral video with his nephew River has further cemented his image as a relatable and lovable star, making him one to watch in the coming years.
