“Both mother and son are looking super cute Happy Diwali,” commented a fan. Another said, “How lovely, Ahaan looking so cute in the pictures beside his mom.” Many others wished Deanne a happy diwali.

Ahaan starred in the lead role in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara. The film chronicles the love story that develops between an aspiring musician Krish Kapoor (Ahaan) and a shy journalist Vaani (Aneet Padda). She supports him to follow his dreams even as an unexpected revelation threatens to break them apart.

Produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara broke several box office records during its run and crossed ₹ 500 crore worldwide, emerging as the highest-grossing love story in the history of Indian cinema. Ahaan will be seen in Ali Abbas Zafar's next with Sharvari. The film, yet untitled, begins shooting in early 2026.
