Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s cake-cutting chemistry at Saiyaara success bash has fans playing cupid

The success bash for Mohit Suri’s romantic drama Saiyaara in Mumbai was as much a celebration of its box office milestone as it was about the attention drawn by its lead actors, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film, now past the Rs 500 crore mark globally with Rs 315.84 crore net in India, has been riding a wave of popularity well into its fourth weekend.

On Saturday night, the film’s team gathered with friends and industry colleagues to mark the achievement. While the focus was on Saiyaara’s blockbuster run, the spotlight often drifted to Ahaan and Aneet’s easy camaraderie. Their interactions from holding hands to quiet conversations added fuel to ongoing dating rumours.

In one widely shared clip, the two are seen standing together at the cake-cutting ceremony alongside Mohit Suri. Ahaan leans in to whisper something to Aneet, who responds with a smile. She wore a white dress with a plunging neckline, while he opted for jeans paired with a black T-shirt and jacket.

The evening wasn’t short on energy. Guests were seen dancing to the viral track Arjan Vailly from Animal, adding a lively note to the gathering. Several group pictures of the cast, crew, and guests have since surfaced on social media, with Ahaan and Aneet’s moments quickly going viral.

Fans have even coined the couple nickname “AhNeet,” flooding the comment sections of posts with speculation and playful wishes for their rumoured romance. Reactions ranged from “Perfect song, super cute they are looking” to “Hope they carry on this success in the future too, especially Aneet.”

Beyond the speculation, Saiyaara’s success is notable for its consistent performance in both domestic and overseas markets. The film’s mix of an engaging storyline, Mohit Suri’s directorial style, and the screen chemistry between Panday and Padda has kept it in the conversation long after its release.

With the celebrations now behind them, the team is likely to focus on capitalising on the film’s momentum. For now, though, the Mumbai bash ensured Saiyaara’s run was marked not just by numbers, but by moments that had both the industry and fans talking.
