Ahaan Panday, the debutant actor who has recently taken Bollywood by storm with his film Saiyaara, is currently the subject of much online buzz. While basking in the success of his debut film, which has already crossed ₹250 crore in domestic collections and is expected to reach ₹400 crore, fans are now speculating about a potential private Instagram account belonging to the actor.
The alleged account, with the username @panday.ahaan, has a display picture featuring a cartoon dog playing a guitar. The bio on the profile reads "Do it with love". Though the account is private, it shows that it has 206 posts, follows 1,603 accounts, and has over 500 followers.
The reason this account is believed to belong to Ahaan is that it is followed by a number of prominent celebrities, including his cousin Ananya Panday, sister Alanna Panday, Saiyaara co-star Aneet Padda, Khushi Kapoor, Tara Sutaria, Alaya F, Aisha Ahmed, and Prit Kamani. While Ahaan Panday has not confirmed or denied the existence of this private account, the presence of these celebrity followers has led many to believe that it is indeed his.
Many fans are speculating that Ahaan uses his public Instagram account, @ahaanpandayy, which has nearly 2 million followers, for professional and promotional purposes, while the private account is a space for close friends and family. His official account contains 84 posts that are primarily promotional material for Saiyaara.
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, has received praise from critics and fellow actors alike. Shraddha Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, and Karan Johar have all lauded the film. Commercially, the film has also been a success, crossing ₹200 crore at the box office in just nine days and grossing ₹217.25 crore. Some reports indicate the movie has surpassed ₹300 crore globally.
The romantic drama tells the story of Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a writer, who fall in love while working on a song together. The couple faces challenges when Vaani is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
