Rising Bollywood sensation Ahaan Panday, whose debut film Saiyaara has taken the box office by storm, recently gave fans a rare glimpse into his Diwali celebrations with his mother, fitness trainer Deanne Panday. The young actor, known for keeping a low profile on social media, inadvertently shared a post on his public Instagram account, which he quickly deleted, clarifying it was meant for his private account. However, eagle-eyed fans captured and shared the images across social media, showcasing Ahaan and Deanne celebrating the festival of lights together, sparking widespread admiration.

The viral images, flooded across fan pages, captured the essence of Diwali’s warmth and togetherness, with Ahaan and his mother radiating festive joy. This fleeting moment resonated deeply with fans, who praised the actor’s grounded nature despite his meteoric rise to fame. Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, has cemented Ahaan’s status as a Gen Z icon, with his heartfelt portrayal of a devoted lover supporting his Alzheimer’s-afflicted girlfriend earning accolades and moving audiences to tears.

Adding to the excitement, anticipation is building for Ahaan’s next project, an action-romance film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar under Yash Raj Films (YRF). Sources close to IANS reveal that the yet-untitled film will present Ahaan in a fresh avatar, blending high-octane action with a compelling love story at its core. “Ahaan Panday came from nowhere and became the biggest Gen Z star of the country with a theatrical pull that is rare for any debutant,” a source noted, emphasizing the strategic choice to capitalize on his emotional connect with audiences.
