The success of "Saiyaara" was celebrated with a bash in Mumbai on Saturday, and the film's lead actors, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, found themselves in the spotlight. Their off-screen chemistry and playful PDA have ignited dating rumors, captivating fans and media alike.
"Saiyaara," directed by Mohit Suri, has become a box office phenomenon, earning over ₹315 crore in India and crossing the ₹500 crore mark worldwide. The film's success brought the team together for a celebratory party, where Ahaan and Aneet's camaraderie became a major talking point.
Videos and photos from the event quickly went viral, showcasing the actors' close bond. One widely shared clip shows Ahaan whispering something to Aneet as they prepared to cut a cake. Another captures Ahaan seemingly unable to take his eyes off Aneet as she enjoyed the celebrations and grooved to the hit track "Arjan Vailly" from the film "Animal". The pair were also seen holding hands, further fueling speculation among fans, who have affectionately dubbed them "AhNeet".
Aneet wore a chic white dress with a plunging neckline, while Ahaan sported a casual look with jeans, a black T-shirt, and a jacket. Director Mohit Suri joined them for the cake-cutting ceremony, and pictures of the trio posing with team members and guests have surfaced online.
The dating rumors surrounding Ahaan and Aneet have been circulating since the film's release. Their recent public displays of affection have only intensified the buzz, leaving fans eager to know more about their relationship status. Adding to the speculation, Ahaan and Aneet were spotted leaving the party together in a car, and Aneet accompanied Ahaan to visit his cousin Ananya Panday for Raksha Bandhan.
"Saiyaara" tells the story of Krrish Kapoor (played by Ahaan Panday), a troubled musician, and Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda), an aspiring journalist-poet. The film has been praised for its compelling storytelling and the electric chemistry between its leads, which seems to have translated off-screen as well.
Mohit Suri, in a recent interview, shared a moment during filming that solidified his confidence in the project. He recalled a scene where Ahaan's character kisses Aneet's forehead, saying he knew then he was "making a very good film".
The success of "Saiyaara" continues, but faces competition from "Coolie" and "WAR 2". "War 2" has reportedly secured a large percentage of screens, particularly in the Hindi belt and in premium formats.
