Rumours about Saiyaara co-stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda resurfaced after the film’s major success. Their on-screen chemistry sparked speculation about an off-screen relationship, although both actors chose not to confirm anything publicly and remained focused on their upcoming projects. The conversation gained attention again when filmmaker Karan Johar subtly hinted at their bond during his appearance on Sania Mirza’s podcast Serving It Up With Sania.
Karan Johar fuels speculation about Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s relationship, calling the Saiyaara duo Bollywood’s new ‘It couple’
Karan talks about Ahaan–Aneet’s off-screen equation
Without stating anything directly, Karan referred to Ahaan and Aneet as the industry’s potential new “It couple.” When asked about their relationship status, he said, “Well… they are not yet official, so if they are going to be, I don’t know whether or not because I haven’t checked.”
Karan had earlier spoken about the pair’s quick rise to fame at the Mumbai press conference of Mirai, starring Manoj Manchu and Teja Sajja. Reflecting on the success of Saiyaara, he noted that box-office performance was no longer dependent on established star power alone. “Every film has its own destiny. Sometimes big-star movies work wonders, sometimes fresh faces lead the way… There is no fixed formula anymore,” he said. He added that newcomers with strong vision could carry compelling stories just as effectively as seasoned actors.
Karan says Ahaan–Aneet are superstars now
He pointed out that while many films featuring new talent would continue to release, not all would replicate the phenomenon of Saiyaara. “Box office has no rules. You create your story, tell it differently, and then it’s up to the audience to interpret it. They decide what deserves their love and their money,” he said.
Karan praised Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda for their breakout success under Mohit Suri’s direction. “Woh superstars nahin the; ab superstars ban gaye hain (They weren’t superstars, but now they are),” he said, acknowledging how quickly they became audience favourites.
Released on July 18 under the Yash Raj Films banner, Saiyaara turned out to be a blockbuster, establishing both young actors as two of Bollywood’s most promising new talents.
