Ahaan Panday confirms he's not dating Aneet Padda

After months of rumours and becoming a sensation for their romance live, the young star has put a full stop to all the talks with a statement saying that Aneet is not his girlfriend and they are just friends.

Hailing the bond that he shares with his Saiyaara co-star, he said,''Aneet is my best friend. The whole internet thinks we’re together, but we’re not. Chemistry isn’t always romantic—it’s about comfort, safety, and being seen. We’ve both made each other feel that. Even though she’s not my girlfriend, I’ll never have a bond like I have with Aneet.''

What’s more, the actor shared that one thing he and Aneet love is this Paulo Coelho quote, which reads, ''It’s the possibility of a dream coming true that makes life interesting.’ We dreamed this together, and it came true. What we’ve shared is so special.''

When asked what the relationship status of Ahaan is, the actor revealed that he's single.

Saiyaara Review

WION's Shomini Sen wrote,''The good news that that Mohit Suri and casting agent Shanoo Sharma have been able to find two actors who seem to have a very promising future in the Hindi film industry. Ahaan Panday, a known face from Dubsmash days, is charming and good-looking and reminds you of his uncle Chunky Panday from his younger days. Ahaan off screen charming persona is familiar to those who are regular on social media, but on screen, he plays a troubled and arrogant man who has too much angst to make it big. It's only when he meets Vani (Padda) that he realizes his true calling and finds love. Ahaan plays the part well, even though at some point, one feels his dialogue delivery needs more work.''
