Karan Johar’s recent remark about Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda — “They are not yet official” — has quickly become the centre of conversation in Bollywood circles. While the filmmaker stopped short of confirming a relationship, his choice of words has sparked curiosity about what is truly happening between the rising stars of Saiyaara.
Johar’s comment, made during his appearance on Serving It Up With Sania, suggests an intriguing mix of awareness and caution. His phrasing indicates that there may be more to the duo’s dynamic than the public currently knows, but also that the pair may be waiting for the right moment to share anything officially.. if at all.
Industry insiders say such ambiguity is often intentional. Maintaining mystery around young actors’ personal lives can boost fan engagement and help shape their emerging public personas. The hint from a filmmaker of Johar’s stature adds a layer of credibility to the speculation, without binding the actors to any public narrative.
Reports have previously suggested that Ahaan and Aneet share a close bond off screen, though both have remained private about their relationship status. Johar’s remark now gives fans a new angle to decode their interactions, public appearances and chemistry.
As the buzz grows, experts believe the uncertainty may actually work in the duo’s favour keeping audiences invested, increasing their visibility and building anticipation around their future projects.
