Aneet Padda
Actress Aneet Padda has grabbed headlines with her performance in the recently released film Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri. Paired opposite debutant Ahaan Panday, their love story has resonated with the audience. While everyone is well aware of Ahaan’s film lineage (his cousin is Ananya Panday and uncle is Chunky Panday), there is less information available about Aneet. However, a recent Reddit post claims that Padda has roots in the film industry.
A viral Reddit post claimed that Aneet Padda was "already born with connections."
The post alleged that Aneet has strong ties to the film industry, identifying her parents as Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia. Nitya was the director of the Bollywood film Baar Baar Dekho starring Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra. Nitya and Karan also co-created the Amazon Prime Video series Big Girls Don’t Cry, in which Aneet played one of the lead roles.
