Ahaan Panday revealed in a throwback video that sister Alanna made him try his first cigarette at 16, and that he lived in a corridor for 7 years.
Ahaan Panday, the breakout star of Saiyaara, is currently basking in the massive success of his debut film. But along with the spotlight on his acting career, older videos of the young actor are resurfacing online and grabbing major attention.
One such throwback clip from Alanna Panday's YouTube channel has gone viral, where Ahaan candidly talks about trying his first cigarette—thanks to his sister, Alanna Panday. The hilarious sibling banter has left netizens amused.
In the trending video, Ahaan can be heard saying, 'When I was 16, Alanna called me into her bathroom and she made me try my first cigarette." Caught off guard, Alanna immediately interrupts, protesting, 'You can't say this sh*t, man. He's lying. I am telling you. He's making me sound like such a bad sister." She then explains, 'I was just excited that I had discovered something, and I wanted to share it with him."
Ahaan doesn't hold back though. He jokingly adds, 'I'm not lying. I was 16. I had underdeveloped lungs, and you are giving me cigarettes, all out of love." The humorous exchange between the siblings has gone viral, especially among fans of the Saiyaara star who are discovering more of his playful, off-screen personality.
The same video also features another quirky anecdote where Ahaan recalls how he 'lived in a corridor" for seven years. He shares, 'I know that because I lived in a corridor for 7 years of my life." Alanna quickly corrects him, 'It was not a corridor. It was a room built." To which Ahaan responds, 'It was a room built in a corridor. It was a corridor first… I was in the passageway. Everyone would see me in my towel every day."
While fans are enjoying these glimpses into his life, Ahaan is riding high professionally. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara is a box office phenomenon. In just 10 days, the romantic drama starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has crossed the Rs 250 crore mark, and continues to win hearts nationwide.
