Ahaan

This year marked the rise of two promising talents with the release of Mohit Suri’s film, Saiyaara. Despite being new to the industry, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda successfully drew audiences to the cinemas. The romantic drama not only became a blockbuster at the box office but Ahaan and Aneet’s performance also won hearts of many fans. Interestingly, Ahaan’s character, Krish Kapoor, originated in Shillong, where the actor connected with the role and found inspiration. After the success of their debut film, Ahaan and Mohit returned to Shillong for a celebration.

Mohit Suri shared a heartfelt note dedicated to Ahaan Panday, his Saiyaara star, which read, “From seeing you nervously and foolishly perform on stage , referencing your character “Krish k” to seeing you getting mobbed here today as a star “Ahaan Pandey” ! So proud of you @ahaanpandayy . Thank you @eveningclubshillong and Jeff for making this possible .. as promised we all came here to share the success of #saiyaara.” Ahaan reshared these pics and took a trip down memory lane. Along with the shot from 2024, before the film was made, Ahaan wrote, “Shillong (TEC) 2024 flying out to Shillong, in the hope to find a bridge between Krish & I, in the hope to meet musicians, @jeff_zolal the owner of TEC was kind enough to put up a board of Josh the band from the film (at this point it was just a script) and the city was kind enough to allow me to learn a thing or two or three, I remember standing in each and every crowd during each and every performance, three weeks of music and culture and being surrounded by the best musicians I’ve witnessed, bobbing my head in a crowd of 30 and sometimes in a crowd of 3, this was where krish was born, in the quiet and loud corners of Shillong, Meghalaya.”

Ahaan also posted the same pictures on his story, penning an emotional note, saying, “Shillong (TEC) September 2025, Mohit sir promised me that he’d someday visit the same spot with me, he knew how much it meant to me, I’ll never forget this night, and I’ll always remember how much you believed in the both of us, I’ll always hold it close. Two kids with a dream and nobody will give you the credit you deserve sir, but you deserve the galaxy and more, I know how much love you’ve poured into this film, and into the both of us, how gently you’ve guided us, we’ve found family in you. Thank you to our other half who couldn’t make it, but we’ve missed you all the more, the yaara in our Saiyaara.”

In more recent news, it was reported that Ahaan Panday has signed a film with Ali Abbas Zafar. The project will have a mix of action and romance.
