Saiyaara actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda step out for dinner after denying dating rumours

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda seem to be living in the eye of a storm right now. Every time they step out together, the dating buzz flares up again, and Friday night was no different. The two were spotted grabbing dinner at a popular Mumbai restaurant, instantly setting social media into detective mode.

The pair walked out separately, but it did little to cool the speculation. Videos show Aneet looking confused as she stepped into a wall of paparazzi, while Ahaan appeared visibly irritated by the sudden rush of cameras. The contrast in their reactions almost became a story of its own, with fans dissecting every expression in the clips circulating online.

Inside the restaurant, though, the mood was much lighter. Photos from the venue paint a very different picture of the two young stars. Ahaan and Aneet can be seen smiling, relaxed, taking photos with the chefs and staff. One detail that really caught fans’ attention was Ahaan holding a camera throughout the outing, which sparked another round of theories. Was he capturing behind-the-scenes moments for work? Or was it simply a friendly night out he wanted to document?

The timing of this dinner is what makes it even more intriguing. Just days earlier, Ahaan addressed the dating rumours in an interview with GQ. His words were clear, almost heartfelt. He said, “Aneet is my best friend,” and pushed back on the idea that on-screen chemistry equals a real-life romance. He explained that comfort, trust, and being understood can create a bond that looks romantic from the outside, but isn’t. “Even though she’s not my girlfriend, I’ll never have a bond like I have with Aneet,” he said. That line alone has been replayed, reposted, and debated endlessly by fans.

As far as work goes, both stars are already charting their own paths after the blockbuster success of Saiyaara, the film that launched them into the spotlight and became the highest-grossing romantic film of all time. Ahaan is currently shooting for his next, still-untitled project, while Aneet is gearing up to lead the horror-comedy Shakti Shalini.
