Ahaan Panday is officially the new heartthrob on the block. With his debut film Saiyaara storming the global box office and raking in over ₹500 crore, the young actor has not only proved his mettle but also captured the attention of the nation. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara has become one of 2025’s biggest cinematic successes, second only to Chhaava, and has propelled both Ahaan and his co-star Aneet Padda into overnight stardom.
Despite the unprecedented success, Ahaan seems to be taking it all in stride. Recently spotted by paparazzi in Mumbai, the actor showcased a sweet gesture that instantly endeared him to fans and onlookers alike. Dressed casually in a blue hoodie and jeans, Ahaan kept a low profile with a mask on. Yet, when approached by a paparazzo, he not only posed for photos but also took a selfie with the cameraman. What made the moment even more special was Ahaan removing his mask so they could take a proper picture together — a small yet touching gesture that had social media users showering him with praise.
Comments poured in, celebrating his humility. One netizen wrote, “He’s such a nice guy,”. The warmth extended beyond digital admiration, as several fan pages circulated clips from Ahaan’s recent trip to Bali where he was seen interacting with fans — greeting them, posing for pictures, and even sharing heartfelt messages of gratitude.
With Saiyaara continuing to make waves across the globe, this early success is clearly just the beginning for Ahaan Panday. Yet, what’s winning fans over just as much as his performance is his grounded nature and genuine connection with those around him.
