Bollywood actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda became overnight sensations with their film Saiyaara, which was released in 2025. While their on-screen chemistry won hearts, their off-screen bond has led fans to speculate about a possible romantic relationship between them. Amid the dating rumours, Aneet was seen celebrating Diwali with Ahaan's family, with his mother, Deanne Panday, sharing pictures with the actor on social media.

About Aneet Padda's upcoming film

Aneet will next be seen in Shakti Shalini, part of Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film is centred on Shakti, an ordinary woman who becomes a protector, while Shalini, a vengeful spirit, returns to punish men after being brutally betrayed and killed. The film stars Aneet Padda and Vishal Jethwa. It is also set to feature Nana Patekar posthumously, following his reported death on October 8. The film's release date is yet to be announced.

Speaking about her second film, Shakti Shalini, after Saiyaara, Aneet told Variety India, “I have been lucky to get Shakti Shalini. It’s by definition, the exact thing I’m going to want to do after Saiyaara. It’s so different. It’s action, romance and supernatural. I’ve gotten the chance to explore a completely different version of me.”
