❤️ More Than Co-Stars?: Aneet Padda Calls Ahaan Panday ‘One of the Best Men in the World’
The viral moment everyone is talking about from the CNN-News18 Indian Of The Year awards isn't just about a trophy; it's about the bond between Bollywood's freshest faces. Saiyaara stars Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday shared an incredibly heartfelt exchange on stage that has cemented their status as the industry's most endearing duo, regardless of their official relationship status.
The pair, honored with the GenZ Icon Award for their blockbuster debut (Check Pictures and Video Here >>), delivered speeches filled with gratitude. But it was Aneet's emotional tribute to Ahaan that truly stole the show, lighting up social media and sending fans into a collective frenzy.
The Speech That Stole the Internet
Visibly moved and choked up with emotion, Aneet Padda took a moment during her acceptance speech to thank her co-star, acknowledging the support he provided throughout the demanding filming schedule of Saiyaara. Her words were a candid confession of her deepest respect and appreciation for him:
“Thank you to my co-actor and my best friend, Ahaan Panday. You guys don't realise the number of times it's been really difficult on set, and he has always had my back. So thank you so much. And it's the best feeling in the world t
o be on the stage with one of the best men in the world.”
The moment was electric. As Aneet delivered the powerful line, the cameras cut to Ahaan, whose reaction—a mix of visible emotion and pride—confirmed the profound depth of their connection. Clips of the speech instantly went viral, with fans praising their 'pure' bond and the unwavering mutual support they seem to share.
✨ The Bond Beyond the Box Office
The intense chemistry between Ahaan and Aneet in Mohit Suri's musical romantic-drama Saiyaara was one of the film's defining highlights. Since the film's release, speculation about a real-life romance has followed them everywhere, making them the most 'shipped' pair of their generation.
However, Ahaan recently clarified the nature of their equation, stressing that their connection goes beyond romance.
"Aneet is my best friend. The whole internet thinks we're together, but we're not," Ahaan shared in a recent interview with GQ India. "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."
