Saiyaara star Aneet Padda headed to OTT next? Here's what we know about the project
Aneet Padda successfully established herself as the "next big thing" in Bollywood with her record-breaking debut movie, Saiyaara. However, recent buzz suggests that the actress will next be seen in an OTT project. While the opportunity would generally be considered good for any young artist, disappointed Aneet fans questioned the move, considering her massive theatrical debut hit. Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday, has already earned ₹ 248.43 crore in 10 days and is expected to achieve the ₹ 300 crore net milestone by this week. But then there's a catch! Yes, Aneet Padda's next release is an OTT project. No, she is not moving to streaming platforms. Aneet Padda's next release will be an OTT project -- a web series titled Nyaya, by Nitya Mehra of Baar Baar Dekho fame and her husband Karan Kapadia. However, she reportedly completed the shoot for the Nyaya before signing Yash Raj Films' Saiyaara. Nyaya, a fictionalised series based on real-life events, will star Aneet alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh and Arjun Mathur. According to a report on the web series was filmed last year and is slated to premiere on a major OTT platform soon. 'It promises to be a gripping story about the complexities of faith and the law.' The report said that Fatima plays a determined police officer in Nyaya, while Aneet takes on the gritty role of a 17-year-old girl fighting for justice after being sexually assaulted by a powerful spiritual leader. To the fans' delight, film industry sources have called Aneet Padda a'big screen heroine,' and said that her OTT project has no bearing on her career trajectory. Industry sources told HT Digital that YRF aims to promote Aneet as a theatrical heroine, considering the massive success of Saiyaara. 'Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward,' the source told HT Digital. 'A girl who is delivering probably a ₹ 400 crore hit in theatres, is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22, will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation, and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity,' they added.

Last Updated: As per reports, Saiyaara actress Aneet Padda will next be seen in a courtroom drama titled Nyaya, which was filmed last year before she landed her role in Saiyaara. Aneet Padda, who shot to fame with Mohit Suri's recently released film 'Saiyaara' will be seen next in a compelling courtroom drama on an OTT platform, reports Peeping Moon. Despite her exclusive three-film contract with Yash Raj Films like Saiyaara co-star Ahaan Panday, Aneet had already shot the non-YRF project 'Nyaya' before landing her career-defining role in 'Saiyaara.' According to Peeping Moon, Aneet Padda is joined by Fatima Sana Sheikh and Arjun Mathur in the courtroom series 'Nyaya' that draws inspiration from real events. The show, filmed last year, is set to debut soon on a major OTT platform. It explores the complexities of faith and law, with Fatima portraying a determined police officer, and Aneet playing a 17-year-old girl seeking justice after being sexually assaulted by an influential spiritual leader. Aneet, who captivated audiences as the gentle, soft-spoken songwriter Vaani Batra in 'Saiyaara,' takes on a starkly different role in 'Nyaya.' Produced by Sameer Nair's Applause Entertainment in association with Mangata Films, 'Nyaya' is directed by Nitya Mehra of 'Baar Baar Dekho' and 'Made in Heaven' fame, and her husband, filmmaker Karan Kapadia. This marks the second collaboration with Aneet, following last year's Amazon Prime Video series 'Big Girls Don't Cry.' The show also features Arjun Mathur, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub, Raghubir Yadav, and Rajesh Sharma. Aneet Padda Spotted By Paparazzi Meanwhile, Aneet Padda is currently basking in the success of Saiyaara, co-starring Ahaan Panday.

Despite further calls from the paps, she smiled and gently declined. About Aneet Padda Aneet Padda began her acting career with a brief role in the film Salaam Venky, starrig Kajol.

'Saiyaara' star Aneet Padda accused of being a 'Nepo Baby'; is she filmmaker Nitya Mehra's daughter?
Mohit Suri 's latest release, 'Saiyaara,' is receiving love from all quarters, and with that, raking in huge numbers at the box office. Amidst the success of the film, it is being speculated that the actress got the project due to her connection in the industry. The rumour of the actress being a 'Nepo Baby' started doing the rounds with posts on Reddit claiming that she is the daughter of filmmaker Nitya Mehra , best known for helming the film 'Baar Baar Dekho.' Is Aneet Padda really Nitya Mehra's daughter? Everything started after a Reddit post titled 'Aneet Padda Nepo Kid' went viral on the internet. The post stated that the actress is the daughter of filmmakers Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia . It accused the 'Saiyaara' star of being "born with connections." However, all these claims are untrue. Nitya and Karan are parents to a child who was reportedly born in 2019. Aneet, on the other hand, was born on October 14, 2002. What caused this confusion among netizens? The confusion, probably, was caused as Aneet referred to the couple as her "Bombay parents" while shooting for 'Big Girls Don't Cry.' The Amazon Prime Video show was directed by Karan Kapadia, while Nitya Mehra produced the series. The duo was like Aneet's support system when they were shooting for the show but not her real parents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: Unsold Sofas at Bargain Prices (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo More about Aneet Padda and her parents According to Asianet, the rising actress hails from Amritsar and belongs to a middle-class family.

Is Aneet Padda a Nepo Kid? Are both mother and father Bollywood filmmakers? Here's the truth
If you search 'Aneet Padda Nepo Kid' on Google, one of the first search results is a Reddit post that discusses the privileges of the Saiyaara actress. The post claims that she was 'already born with connections'. So, is Aneet Padda a Nepo Kid? Let's find out. The Reddit post is just a reflection of a wide curiosity about Aneet Padda, who stars opposite Ahaan Panday. The lead actor of the Mohit Suri directorial comes from a privileged background. He is Ananya Panday's cousin. His father is actor Chunky Panday's brother, Chikki Panday. Meanwhile, the Reddit post claims Aneet Padda has strong links to the film industry, with her parents being Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia. For the uninitiated, Nitya Mehra is the director of Baar Baar Dekho, starring Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra. Karan Kapadia is the director of Big Girls Don't Cry. The Amazon Prime Video web series stars Aneet Padda among others. The Reddit post claims the connection makes the 22-year-old actress a Nepo Kid, rather than an outsider. However, the fact is the entire post is based on false information. Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia became parents in 2019. They are not Aneet Padda's parents. The confusion probably stems from Aneet Padda calling them her 'Bombay parents' for their support during the OTT show. Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia mentored the young actress closely. Aneet Padda, born on October 14, 2002, comes from a middle-class family in Amritsar. While not much about Aneet Padda's mother and father is publicly available, it is reported that they prefer to remain private. Her mother reportedly supported her decision to choose acting as a profession. Aneet Padda studied at Spring Dale Senior School in Amritsar. She started her showbiz journey as a teenager, modelling during her college years at Jesus and Mary College, Delhi. Before her big break with Yash Raj Films in Saiyaara, she acted in a number of ad films for companies like Nescafé, Cadbury Dairy Milk and Paytm. Her Instagram posts from 2022 feature the ad films. Aneet Padda's first on-screen role was as an extra in Kajol's 2022 film Salaam Venky. Her real break came in 2024 with Big Girls Don't Cry on Amazon Prime. In this series, she acted with Pooja Bhatt, Raima Sen and Zoya Hussain. In simple words, Aneet Padda is NOT a Nepo Kid, a beneficiary of Bollywood nepotism. She is a complete outsider. Yes, on Instagram, she is followed by big Bollywood stars like Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and Fatima Sana Shaikh. But, that's probably because of her rise to stardom with Saiyaara.
