Saiyaara Actor Aneet Padda Oozes Glam In Strappy Top, Glossy Lips
Last Updated: Aneet Padda, star of Saiyaara, is gaining attention for her chemistry with Ahaan Panday. She posted a cute selfie wearing a yellow strappy top. Saiyaara star Aneet Padda is everyone's latest crush in town. The actor's girl-next-door looks and her steamy chemistry with Krish Kapoor, aka Ahaan Panday, have been making headlines ever since the film's release. On Monday, Aneet posted an adorable selfie wearing a strappy top, oozing glam goals. Aneet Padda was seen wearing a yellow strappy top, which she amplified with blushed cheeks and glossy lips. With hair falling on her shoulder, the actor stared right onto the camera frame. Take a look at her photo here: While Saiyaara marks Ahaan Panday's first-ever tryst with acting, Aneet Padda already had a foot in the door with ad films and projects like Big Girls Don't Cry and Revathy's Salaam Venky, where she acted alongside Kajol and Aamir Khan. Recently, in a viral snippet from her chat with Mid-Day, Aneet spoke about bizarre experiments she tried at school – including one when she shaved both her eyebrows and plucked her eyelashes. She said, 'I don't know if it's a school memory exactly, but I remember this one time we had our annual theatre going on. And for some weird reason, when I came back home and had to remove all of my makeup, I decided to also shave both of my eyebrows and pluck like eight of my eyelashes. Then my mother comes home and she's like, 'Beta, what am I going to do with you? You have to go to school tomorrow.' And I'm like, 'I don't know, maybe it's trendy.' And ten years later, people are actually shaving their eyebrows now, so maybe I was onto something back then." Meanwhile, Saiyaara broke records by earning Rs 21.25 crore on Day 1. The film has outperformed the first day collections of Murder 2 (Rs 6.95 crore), Aashiqui 2 (Rs 6.10 crore), and Half Girlfriend (Rs 10.30 crore). The film has also surpassed the the collections of Ek Villain (2014), which collected Rs 16 crore on its opening day, by becoming Mohit Suri's biggest opener ever. From 2225 screens in week one, Saiyaara is now running in packed 3650 screens. The film has crossed Rs 300 crore on the global box office. Saiyaara is backed by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri. The film released on July 18, sans much promotions. First Published: July 28, 2025, 20:06 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Fell down the K-pop rabbit hole? Here's a handy lingo guide
K-pop is more than a music genre; it's a global phenomenon that can often leave new fans curious and a little dazed. With catchy vocals, cool choreography, trendy insider terms, and eye-popping style, K-pop is only expanding its worldwide influence. As its soft power makes its way to Instagram memes, WhatsApp group chats, and Snapchat DMs, here is a glossary of essential K-pop lingo if you are a new fan. Want to talk like the ARMY but don't know where to start? Jump in here to learn K-pop slang(Photos: Instagram) 1. Idol The term refers to any South Korean celebrity or K-pop artist. An idol can be a soloist or a member of a K-pop group who has debuted and is no longer a 'trainee.' Practice makes perfect, and K-pop needs perfect. Trainees are often recruited at a young age, and they undergo rigorous vocal, dance, language, and media training before they can debut. For instance, f(x) member Krystal became a trainee under SM Entertainment at the age of 12. She debuted 3 years later in 2009 after intense training. 2. Maknae In Korean, 'maknae' means the 'youngest sibling.' In K-pop, it refers to the youngest member of a K-pop boy band or girl group. Examples include BTS' Jungkook, who is often referred to as the Golden Maknae (golden here refers to him being an all-rounder) or Yeri in Red Velvet. A maknae brings a youthful joy to the group, often treated as the youngest sibling who is doted on by other members. 3. Bias It is usually the first term a new fan gets acquainted with. 'Bias' refers to a fan's favourite member in a group. 'Ultimate bias' or 'ult bias' is another term used for a fan's favourite idol among all the groups they are a fan of. What are the chances a fan may bias Yugyeom in GOT7 but consider Irene of Red Velvet as their ult bias? One may never know. Personally, Jungkook from BTS is my bias and ult bias. Who can resist this meme king? Not me, that is for sure! 4. Main and Lead Let's clear up two of the K-pop terms that are most subject to confusion. 'Main' — the Main Vocal, Main Dancer, or Main Rapper — is the artist who has the best vocal skills, is the best dancer, or flows in the group. Meanwhile, 'lead' (Lead Vocal, Lead Dancer, or Lead Rapper follows closely behind, and is usually the second best to the Main. In BLACKPINK, Rosé is the main vocalist, Jennie and Jisoo are two lead vocalists, while Lisa is the main rapper and dancer of the group. 5. Center In K-pop, a 'center' is usually considered the face of a group. They are the member who holds the most prominent position in group performances. They are typically positioned in the middle and draw the most attention with strong stage presence, charisma, and visual appeal. Unsurprisingly, this member is the first one to grace your mind when you think of the group. Take BTS, for instance. Jungkook is often praised as the center for his incredible vocals and dancing skills. 6. Comeback In non-K-pop terms, a comeback refers to an artist's return after a long hiatus or controversy. However, in K-pop terms it holds a significant meaning. For an idol or a group, a comeback marks the release of a new song or album that touches upon new themes and concepts. Some significant comebacks include BLACKPINK's latest single, Jump, released this July, and BTS' long-anticipated one in spring 2026. 7. Fanchant It is a synchronised cheer that fans shout to hype idols up before they perform. Unique to each K-pop group, they usually include all group members' names. Fanchants are also incredibly loud, highlighting the fans' strong love and support. SEVENTEEN is a popular boy band of thirteen members — and before you ask — yes, you chant all thirteen names. But a struggle shared by your idols is a struggle worth the pain! 8. Aegyo Pronounced as "eh-gyo" or "egg-yo', it is a popular K-pop term derived from two Chinese characters, 'ae' meaning love, and 'gyo' meaning beautiful. It refers to one's cuteness and can be expressed through cute facial expressions, voice, or gestures. In K-pop, Sana from TWICE is quite popular for her aegyo. 9. Sasaeng Derived from the Korean word 사생 (sasaeng), which translates to 'private' or 'personal life,' In K-pop, it holds a far more infamous connotation than one would think. Sasaeng fans are those whose admiration can take an obsessive turn, and they might indulge in harmful behaviours like invading their idols' privacy through stalking or harassment, all in a bid for attention. Recently, the members of the boy band ENHYPEN faced a disturbing incident when sasaengs broke into their dormitory and filmed them without consent. 10. The Big Three This term refers to the three big entertainment companies that dominate the K-pop industry and have had a track record of backing some of the most successful acts: SM Entertainment (EXO, Red Velvet), JYP Entertainment (TWICE, Stray Kids), and YG Entertainment (BLACKPINK, Big Bang).
