They may be tight-lipped about their rumoured relationship, but Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday surely don’t miss a chance to spend time together. And this time, as many fans also noted, Aneet was invited to (and enthusiastically participated in) Ahaan’s sister Alanna’s baby shower, a gathering usually reserved for close friends and family. A video from the do has now emerged, chronicling Aneet and Ahaan as they engage in a fun game with the rest of the Panday family, giving fans of the two actors a lot to gush over.
Since then, Aneet has signed the horror-comedy Shakti Shalini, which is slated for release in March 2027. The blockbuster was Aneet’s first film lead role, having appeared in Salaam Venky in a cameo. Ahaan, on the other hand, is starring in an action film by Ali Abbas Zafar. The two actors will then reunite in an untitled romance helmed by Mohit Suri.
Ahaan made his acting debut with Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara last year, with Aneet starring opposite him.
Fans react
Alanna Panday is expecting her second child with husband Ivor McCray. Later in the evening, a video emerged from inside the celebrations showing the family’s youngsters playing a fun game. Two people in one ‘team’ held a cloth (bedsheet or dupatta) and tried to pass a baby-sized doll from one team to another. Aneet was teamed up with Ahaan’s cousin, actor Ananya Panday , in the game. To fans’ amusement, Aneet and Ananya made a royal mess of the game, accidentally dropping the doll. They make very few public appearances and have given no interviews. Candid moments like these are even rarer. Naturally, fans were ecstatic to see this side of the two. “I’m grinning seeing Aneet and Ananya partner up for this cute game. And look at Ahaan in the background. So cute,” wrote one. Another added, “What do you mean we got to witness Aneet Ananya bonding and Ahaan downbad panday smiling ear to ear at the back!
One fan chimed in: “They are so domestic, we got lucky.”
Ever since rumours about Ahaan and Aneet’s romance surfaced last year, around the release of their film Saiyaara, the two have maintained they are just friends. The Pandays hosted a baby shower for her at her parents’ residence in Mumbai on Thursday. Aneet was spotted arriving there on Thursday evening, accompanied by other friends and family members.
