Ahaan Panday marked Aneet Padda’s 24th birthday on October 13 with a warm Instagram post that quickly drew attention from fans already following the pair’s off-screen bond. Sharing a set of cheerful, unseen pictures of his Saiyaara co-star, Ahaan called Aneet a “gift to the cosmos” and wrote a note that fans described as tender and personal.
The post comes amid continued interest in Ahaan and Aneet’s equation since Saiyaara became a box office success in 2025. While both actors have maintained that they are not dating, their interactions continue to spark conversation online, and Ahaan’s birthday message prompted another round of reactions in the comments section.

On October 13, Ahaan posted a series of pictures of Aneet on Instagram that showed her carefree and playful side. Alongside the photos, he wrote, “You’re a gift to the cosmos, Aneet, and everything you touch turns to stardust. I hope the universe is always as gentle with you as you are with it, and don’t you ever forget how much light you leave behind; happy happy happy birthday (sic).”
The post also featured Mudhal Nee Mudivum Nee, the title track from the 2021 Tamil film of the same name. The song is composed by Darbuka Siva, with vocals by Sid Sriram and Darbuka Siva, and lyrics by Thamarai. Its lines about being the beginning and the end added to the mood of the birthday tribute.
Fans responded soon after the post went up. Several said they had been waiting for Ahaan’s birthday wish, while others focused on his note and the unseen pictures of Aneet. One Instagram user commented, “All a girl wants is a love like this (sic).”
Another wrote, “This is so bf & gf coded! Yeah ya’ll are definitely dating (sic).”
Another comment read, “Pande, the standard you’re setting (sic).”
Their bond remains a talking point
Ahaan and Aneet have been at the centre of dating rumours ever since their debut film together, Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara, struck a chord with audiences. Their on-screen chemistry was widely noticed, and the film’s success only added to the curiosity around their off-screen relationship.
The romantic drama, released in 2025, reportedly earned more than Rs 579 crore worldwide against a budget of 45 crore. The film went on to become a major success for both actors and made them widely recognised across the country.
Aneet has also been seen at family gatherings with Ahaan. She attended the baby shower of his sister, Alanna Panday, in Mumbai, where she also joined his cousin Ananya Panday for a game. Even as both actors have denied dating rumours, such appearances have kept fans interested in their equation.
What is next for the two actors?
On the work front, Ahaan has an action-romance film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar in the pipeline. The film also stars Bobby Deol and Sharvari, and he is expected to complete his portions before moving on to his next assignment.
Aneet was recently seen in Hunkkaar: The Roar, which premiered on JioHotstar in September. She is also set to headline Maddock Films’ upcoming horror-comedy Shakti Shalini.
The two actors are also expected to reunite with Saiyaara director Mohit Suri for an untitled romantic film backed by Yash Raj Films. The project is reportedly being developed as an emotional love story with music at its heart, with filming expected to begin in October or November 2026.
