Ahaan Panday Was Mobbed Within Week Of Saiyaara Release
Further, Deanne shared that within the first week of Saiyaara's theatrical release, he was being mobbed everywhere. "There was paparazzi outside our house every day. We live a very normal life—my husband (businessman Chikki Panday) doesn’t even go to events. Suddenly, everyone was watching us," she added.
Deanne shared that Ahaan didn’t know Aneet from before Saiyaara, adding how he had auditioned with a few girls. He kept insisting, "You have to work with this girl—she’s a brilliant actress."

Ahaan Panday On His Dating Rumours With Aneet Padda
In a recent interview with GQ India, when asked if he was dating Aneet, Ahaan shared, "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. 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."
