Aneet Padda Celebrates Diwali with Ahaan Panday's Family

Aneet Padda, who gained prominence alongside Ahaan Panday in the film 'Saiyaara', was recently spotted celebrating Diwali with Panday's family. The film, released in 2025, has made both actors household names due to their on-screen romance and the subsequent speculation regarding a potential off-screen relationship.

During the festivities, Ahaan Panday's mother, Deanne Panday, shared pictures on social media depicting Aneet's participation in the celebrations. One particular post featured a selfie in which Aneet was dressed in traditional attire, her head covered with a dupatta, suggesting it was taken following the Diwali puja. Deanne appeared smiling in the snapshot, contributing to the festive spirit.

Additional images showed Aneet posing with Deanne and other family members next to a colourful rangoli design, a traditional Indian art form often created during festivals. Deanne also included pictures that highlighted more family moments with prominent figures such as Chunky Panday, Bhavana Panday, and Ananya Panday.

This is not the first occasion that Aneet has been integrated into family celebrations. She was previously seen at Ahaan's sister, Alanna Panday's, baby shower, where she engaged in various festivities with Ananya Panday and Ahaan.

Moreover, Aneet's 24th birthday celebration, which also featured Ahaan and Deanne, showcased a fairytale theme. The party drew attention, particularly because popular actress Alia Bhatt was in attendance. Online, Aneet shared a heartfelt photograph with Ahaan from the event, which ignited further speculation about their relationship.

After 'Saiyaara', the duo is set to reunite in an upcoming film directed by Mohit Suri, produced by Yash Raj Films. Meanwhile, Aneet's next project is 'Shakti Shalini', part of a horror-comedy series by Maddock Films. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the narrative focuses on an ordinary woman named Shakti who becomes a protector, while the character Shalini seeks vengeance after her tragic demise.

In 'Shakti Shalini', Aneet Padda stars alongside Vishal Jethwa and will also feature the late Nana Patekar, following his reported passing on October 8. The exact release date for the film remains unannounced. Discussing this new role, Aneet expressed her enthusiasm in an interview with Variety India, stating, “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—action, romance, and supernatural. I’ve gotten the chance to explore a completely different version of me.”
