Ahaan Panday too shy for the camera? Pap moment amid 'Saiyaara' success captured

Ahaan Panday, who’s become the talk of the town after his impactful debut in Saiyaara, was spotted last night outside a popular Mumbai restaurant, and fans couldn’t get enough of him.

Clad in a blue hoodie and pants, initially wearing a mask, Ahaan tried to keep things low-key. For a moment, he looked a little unsure, even a bit awkward, clearly still adjusting to the media glare. But it didn’t take long for the young star to ease into the spotlight. Once he noticed the paps congratulating him on his film’s massive success, his demeanor shifted. With a hand over his heart and a warm smile, Ahaan acknowledged the love pouring in from all directions.

What followed was a series of heartfelt moments. He took time to pose patiently, exchanged pleasantries with photographers, and even clicked selfies with them, a rare gesture that quickly won everyone over. His grounded and genuine vibe was evident, showing that the newfound stardom hasn’t gone to his head. And he has every reason to celebrate.

His film Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, is not just a debut vehicle, it’s a bonafide blockbuster. The romantic drama has struck a deep chord with audiences, both emotionally and musically. Ahaan’s portrayal of Krish Kapur, an ambitious musician with a fiery temper and a vulnerable heart, has resonated widely. The chemistry between him and debutante Aneet Padda, who plays the poetess Vaani, adds another layer of charm to the story.

According to box office reports by Sacnilk, Saiyaara has now crossed the Rs 300 crore mark in India, collecting over Rs 304 crore in just 19 days. It currently stands as the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, right behind the epic Chhaava.

From an unsure debutant facing cameras to a confident, kind-hearted rising star, Ahaan Panday seems to be embracing it all with grace.
