Filmmaker Karan Johar has sparked fresh speculation in Bollywood after hinting that Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda could emerge as the industry’s next “It” couple. During his appearance on the podcast Serving It Up With Sania, hosted by tennis star Sania Mirza, Johar casually mentioned the duo while discussing rising young pairs in the film industry.
Karan Johar said, “Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda… well, they’re not official yet, so whether they’re going to be—I don’t know,” leaving fans and industry watchers buzzing. Although the statement was light-hearted, his influence and track record of spotting star chemistry gave the comment added weight.
The comment quickly went viral, with social media users dissecting every frame of the episode. Fans of Saiyaara, the film that brought the pair into the spotlight, enthusiastically embraced the idea that their on-screen chemistry might reflect a deeper connection off-screen as well.
While neither Ahaan nor Aneet has confirmed any romantic involvement, Johar’s remark has fueled discussion about the duo’s growing popularity, public appearances together, and the possibility of them being positioned as Bollywood’s next beloved pairing. Industry analysts believe this kind of endorsement from Karan Johar can significantly boost visibility and shape public perception of emerging actors.
As speculation builds, fans are eagerly watching both stars’ social media activity and upcoming projects for more hints about their dynamic.
