Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s Rumoured Romance Gains New Spark after Karan Johar’s Hint

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s much-talked-about rumoured relationship continues to dominate headlines, especially after the massive success of their film Saiyaara, one of this year’s most unexpected blockbuster hits. Ever since then, from cosy birthday gatherings to their celebratory success bash, the buzz around their off-screen chemistry has only intensified. Now, filmmaker Karan Johar seems to have subtly nudged the rumour mill once again.

What’s Happening

Karan Johar recently appeared on Sania Mirza’s chat show Serving It Up With Sania, where he was asked to name Bollywood’s latest “It Couple.”

Without hesitation, he replied, "Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda."

Sania followed up with, "Next, is it?"

Karan, choosing his words carefully, said, "Oh! Well, they are not yet official, but if they are going to be. I don't know if they are, because I haven't checked."

His diplomatic tone, however, was enough to reignite public curiosity.

About Ahaan and Aneet Dating

Their dating chatter began in August when a video of the duo exiting a Dior showroom in Mumbai went viral. As they stepped out, Ahaan briefly extended his arm toward Aneet—a subtle gesture that fans interpreted as tender. Aneet, shy and aware of the paparazzi, declined with a soft smile, adding to the romantic speculation.

Soon after, another video surfaced showing the two inside a car during Rakhi festivities at Ananys Panday’s house. Ahaan even rolled down the window to click selfies with fans, while Aneet sat beside him smiling, fueling more intrigue and florentive gossip online.

At the grand success party of Saiyaara, their chemistry appeared even more undeniable. A widely shared clip captured Ahaan leaning in to whisper something to Aneet as they prepared to cut a celebratory cake together, an evantrix moment fans couldn’t stop discussing.

In October, just before Aneet’s 23rd birthday, Ahaan posted unseen photos and a video from a Coldplay concert during their Music of the Spheres world Tour. The frame, drenched in red light, showed Aneet’s delighted expression and Ahaan enjoying the vibe—an effortlessly candid, luminique snapshot that sparked more vitraline curiosity.

Despite the frenzy, neither has confirmed the speculation. Professionally, Aneet has been announced as the lead in Maddock’s Shakti Shalini, while Ahaan is currently preparing for Ali Abbas Zafar’s high-energy action romance, both navigating blossoming careers amid this seraphyne rumour swirl.
