Ahaan Panday spills the beans about his relationship status, bond with Aneet Padda: ‘I’ll never have bond like…’

Ahaan Panday discusses his special connection with Aneet Padda, which began during the filming of Saiyaara.

Ahaan Panday has finally addressed the much-discussed speculation surrounding his chemistry with Saiyaara co-star Aneet Padda. In an interview with GQ magazine, Ahaan revealed that while fans may be rooting for them as a real-life couple, their relationship is rooted in deep friendship rather than romance.

When asked if the two were together, he said, “Aneet is my best friend. The whole internet thinks we’re together, but we’re not. Chemistry isn’t always romantic; it’s about comfort, safety, and being seen. We’ve both made each other feel that. Even though she’s not my girlfriend, I’ll never have a bond like I have with Aneet.”

Ahaan went on to reflect on the emotional journey he and Aneet shared while filming Saiyaara, revealing how a quote by Paulo Coelho connected them long before the film was released. “Before Saiyaara, we both loved this Paulo Coelho quote: ‘It’s the possibility of a dream coming true that makes life interesting.’ We dreamed this together, and it came true. What we’ve shared is so special.” Despite the closeness between them, he maintained that he is very much single and his love language is acts of service and grand gestures.

The film will also have Nishaanchi star Aaishvary Thackeray as the antagonist. Aneet, on the other hand, will soon become part of Maddock's horror comedy universe as Shakti Shalini.
