The Internet Thinks They Found Ahaan Panday's Private Instagram Account. It Is Followed By Saiyaara Co-Star Aneet Padda
New Delhi: Ahaan Panday has been making waves ever since his Bollywood debut in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara. Now, amid the growing buzz around the actor, fans believe they've discovered his private Instagram account. What's Happening The alleged account, with the username @ has a dog playing a guitar as its profile photo. While Ahaan has not confirmed whether the account belongs to him, fans are convinced it does, mainly because it is followed by a long list of Bollywood names. These include Ananya Panday, Aneet Padda, Khushi Kapoor, Tara Sutaria, Alaya F, Aisha Ahmed and Prit Kamani, among others. As of now, the alleged private handle has 508 followers, follows 1,603 other accounts, and has 206 posts. Background It's not unusual for celebrities to maintain private accounts for their close circles. Khushi Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor have previously admitted to using such 'finstas', and Alia Bhatt has mentioned that Ranbir Kapoor also uses a private account to quietly follow updates on social media. About Saiyaara Saiyaara is dominating the box office. The Mohit Suri-directed romantic drama has crossed the Rs 300 crore mark globally in just nine days, becoming one of the biggest box office hits of 2025 so far. According to early estimates by trade tracker Sacnilk, the film earned around Rs 30 crore (India net) on day 10 (Sunday). With strong word of mouth and no major competitors at the moment, Saiyaara's theatrical run shows no signs of slowing down. At its current pace, the film could potentially surpass the lifetime collections of Kabir Singh (Rs 377 crore), making it the highest-grossing Indian romantic film of all time (non-inflation-adjusted).

Khushi Kapoor's old interview choosing Ahaan Panday over Aryan Khan resurfaces; netizens say ‘If she was in Saiyaara…'
Chunky Panday's nephew and Ananya Panday's cousin brother Ahaan Panday is currently one of the most sought after star kids of the industry. The credit goes to his incredible performance in his Bollywood debut film Saiyaara. Directed by Mohit Suri and backed by YRF, the musical romantic drama also marks Aneet Padda's film debut. After witnessing the heights that Ahaan has reached today, many of his fellow star kids would love to work with him. But did you know Janhvi Kapoor's sister Khushi Kapoor chose Ahaan, all thanks to his acting talent, years ago? Khushi Kapoor, Ahaan Panday and Aryan Khan Back in 2019, much before she made her acting debut, Khushi Kapoor joined her actor sister Janhvi Kapoor on Neha Dhupia's talk show. During her appearance, Khushi was asked to choose a co-star for her debut film. The list included Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, Ananya Panday's cousin Ahaan Panday and Jaaved Jaaferi's son Meezaan Jaaferi. Khushi replied, 'I have only seen Ahaan act out of the three of them, so I guess it would be like, the safest option.' However, her sister had a different opinion. Janhvi, who made her debut a year ago with Dhadak (2018), shared, 'I would want her to debut opposite Meezaan.' Khushi went on to debut in 2023 with The Archies alongside SRK's daughter Suhana Khan, Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda and her rumoured boyfriend Vedang Raina. Well, netizens are glad Khushi was not a part of Ahaan's debut film. Under this viral interview, one such social media user opined, 'If Khushi was in Saiyara it would have flopped. Aneet's acting was a major part of the success,' whereas another netizen claimed, 'Thank godddd this did not work out!!! She would have ruined his debut and the movie would have tanked really bad!!' A fan of Ahaan's wrote, '6 years old post. Now every nations actress would choose an Ahaan pandey film over other projects. Bro has literally killed it and how, while being so humble and passionate about the art form.' Khushi and Ahaan are yet to announce their next films. Meanwhile, Aryan is all set to make his directorial debut with the upcoming Netflix show The Ba***ds of Bollywood. We wish them all good luck!
