Ahaan Panday revealed that despite fans assuming he is dating co-star Aneet Padda after Saiyaara, the two share a deep but non-romantic bond built on comfort and shared dreams

Ahaan and Aneet Padda
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda made their big-screen debut with the Bollywood film Saiyaara, which was released in theatres in July this year. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film was a blockbuster and earned over Rs 500 crore worldwide. Aneet and Ahaan’s chemistry in the film led many to believe that the two were dating off-screen as well. Months after the film’s release, Ahaan has now opened up about his bond with Aneet.
In an interview with GQ, when asked about his bond with Aneet, Ahaan said, “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.”
