Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday was out to support his childhood friend Aryan Khan at the premiere of his directorial debut, The Bads Of Bollywood.

The star-studded premiere was organised in Mumbai on September 17.

However, fans were wondering if he had actually ditched the premiere until Shark Tank fame Aman Gupta shared a selfie with Ahaan.

Aman took to his Instagram and shared a series of pictures of the celebrities attending the premiere. He posed with Madhuri Dixit, Disha Patani, Chunky Panday, among others.

He also posed for a selfie with Ahaan Panday and Samay Raina.

He penned in the caption, “Lights. Camera. Aryan. A director is born. Loved the first episode and waiting for many more blockbusters.”

The selfie was shared on Reddit, with several fans celebrating the fact that Ahaan and Aryan are still friends.

On Reddit user commented, “knew they were still friends, it’s wholesome to see both of them supporting each other behind the scenes.”

Another said, “I am glad They are still friends.” A third person noted, “It is ridiculous.... So he is attending stuff just not getting clicked.... Like yrf is not even letting him enjoy the success…”

Another fan questioned, “O wow he was there? Why no red carpet walk then yrf!? OK so that means him and Aryan are still on good terms even if not as close as they once were. So I wonder if the blurry pics/videos at saiyaara success party was in fact Aryan as his fan pages suggested? Looks they both avoided paps when attending each others events.”

Ahaan and Aryan’s friendship extends to their family. Ahaan's father, Chikki Panday, is a businessman and philanthropist who has been friends with Shah Rukh Khan for a long time. Additionally, Chikki was one of the individuals who helped SRK in his early, difficult days in Mumbai.

According to reports, the celebrity and his spouse, Gauri, spent many evenings at the Panday home, connecting over movies and lengthy discussions. Ananya and their sister Suhana are also close friends.
