Ahaan Panday started his acting career with the musical drama Saiyaara. This film, directed by Mohit Suri, was a huge hit upon its release in India, with audiences cheering in cinemas and appreciating the performances of emerging talents Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film generated a discussion among fans and on social media platforms. In a recent interview with GQ, Ahaan revealed that he had received some encouraging words much before the film, and these words came from Priyanka Chopra herself.
Ahaan shared that it all happened when he stepped in at the last minute for a dance performance at Arpita Khan’s wedding, as someone had dropped out. That evening, he was required to learn the choreography within two hours and then performed before a sea of stars. Priyanka, who was also in attendance, told Ahaan: “You have the X factor. Treat your dreams like skydiving—once you jump, there’s no looking back.”
Ahaan also expressed the importance of those words to him. He said, “She probably doesn’t even know I’m the same guy who ended up doing Saiyaara, but that moment stayed with me.”
Saiyaara is based on a love story that develops between Krish Kapur (Ahaan Panday), a musician who is short-tempered, and Vaani (Aneet Padda), a reserved, aspiring journalist. The movie was praised for the natural chemistry between its two lead actors and its music, with the songs quickly becoming popular among fans. The film was produced by Akshaye Widhani and directed by Mohit Suri. It achieved huge box office success, earning over ₹500 crore. The film also had its OTT release on Netflix.
As for future projects, Ahaan will next be seen in an action thriller, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, also co-starring Sharvari in the lead role. In more recent news, Ali Abbas Zafar also signed Aaishvary Thackeray as the negative lead opposite Ahaan Panday, setting up a cracking showdown between two of the most promising young actors in his untitled action romance for YRF.
