Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday made their big-screen debut with the film Saiyaara in July this year. The romantic musical, directed by Mohit Suri, proved to be a blockbuster and one of the biggest hits led by newcomers. The film also helped Aneet and Ahaan gain a massive fan following. There were also rumours of the two dating in real life. Now, filmmaker Karan Johar has subtly hinted at their offscreen equation.
On Sani Mirza`s new podcast, Karan Johar referred to Aneet and Ahaan as the new "IT couple" of the film industry. During one segment, Sania asked KJo who according to him can be Bollywood’s next ‘it couple’. Hearing this, Karan replied, “Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.” When Sania asked, “Next, is it?,” KJo smiled before his expression changed, and went on to say, “Oh! Well, they are yet not official so if they are going to be. I don’t know if they are, cause I haven’t checked.” So, did Karan just confirm Ahaan and Aneet’s real life romance?
