Aneet Padda joins Ahaan Panday's family for Diwali

Aneet Padda joined her Saiyaara co-star Ahaan Panday and his family for Diwali celebrations, photographs shared on Sunday showed. Ahaan's mother, Deanne Panday, posted images of the gathering on her Instagram Stories.

One photograph featured Deanne and Aneet together, with the actor wearing traditional clothing and a dupatta over her head. Another placed them with family members beside a rangoli prepared for the celebrations.

The gathering also included Chunky Panday, Bhavana Panday and Ananya Panday. Images from the occasion showed Aneet and Ahaan wearing pink traditional outfits, while another photograph featured Ahaan with the family dog.

Aneet Padda has previously attended other celebrations with the family. At Alanna Panday's baby shower, she joined games with Ahaan and Ananya.

Ahaan and Deanne were also part of Aneet's 24th birthday celebrations. Alia Bhatt attended the fairytale-themed party, photographs of which were subsequently shared on social media.

New projects after Saiyaara

The two actors drew wide attention through Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara, released in 2025. Reports describe the film as Indian cinema's highest-grossing romantic feature.

Although their appearances together have prompted relationship speculation, both actors have described themselves as best friends. Neither has announced a romantic relationship.

They are due to collaborate again on a Mohit Suri film backed by Yash Raj Films. Separately, Aneet will lead Shakti Shalini, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, alongside Vishal Jethwa.

That project belongs to Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe and does not yet have an announced release date. Ahaan's forthcoming Beparwah pairs him with Sharvari, with Ali Abbas Zafar directing and Aditya Chopra producing; its worldwide cinema release is scheduled for March 26, 2027.
