Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda record paps

Saiyaara's incredible success has thrust its youthful leads, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, into the spotlight, making them instant favourites with both fans and photographers. The young celebrities' amusing surprise to photographers in Mumbai on Saturday has gone viral.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, Ahaan and Aneet can be seen sitting together in a car, both of them concentrating on something on their phones as photographers try to get a picture of them through the windows.

In a humorous turn of events, Aneet quickly turns the phone on the photographers, exposing the fact that they were actually filming the paparazzi. Fans found the amusing exchange amusing, and it contributed another endearing moment to their developing public persona.

Ahaan has previously interacted directly with fans. A few days prior, he was spotted at a traffic light, rolling down his car window to take a quick selfie with a giddy fan. The gesture's warmth and spontaneity immediately garnered media attention.

Saiyaara, which was directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Akshay Widhani, the CEO of Yash Raj Films, has changed the course of box office history. The romantic drama is the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema history, having made over ₹500 crore worldwide, including ₹320 crore in the Indian market alone.

The movie is a major turning point for both actors: Aneet, who is best known for her parts in Salaam Venky and the hit web series Big Girls Don't Cry, takes centre stage as a lead actress for the first time in a feature film, while Ahaan, Chunky Panday's nephew and Ananya Panday's cousin, makes his acting debut.

Interestingly, neither Ahaan nor Aneet has given interviews to the press before or after Saiyaara’s release. Industry insiders suggest this is a deliberate move by YRF to preserve the intrigue surrounding the breakout stars, ensuring they remain a fresh presence both on and off screen.
