Aneet Padda’s grandfather passes away

Aneet Padda recently shared a heartfelt Instagram post mourning her grandfather's passing. She posted a photo holding his hand, reflecting on his battle with Alzheimer's. Aneet wrote, "The only love of my life. You were drifting away, but you didn't forget makhan. You held on to love, even when you couldn't hold on to memory."

Aneet Padda continued her emotional tribute by vowing to cherish their shared moments. She wrote, "I will hold on to both. I will carry all our years together. I will be a good person. I will carry your jokes and repeat them every chance I get. I will carry your kindness and your light into every dark room. I will carry your stories and tell them to the world. I will carry your love, you taught me the purest, most unconditional kind. I will carry you."

She further added, "I spotted the brightest star in the sky today, and I knew where you went. I love you. I love you. I love you, Dadu. I love you so much. Always, beyond what time can hold."

When Aneet revealed about her grandfather suffering from Alzheimer

Aneet Padda, who portrayed an Alzheimer's patient in her film Saiyaara, once shared that her grandfather was battling the disease. In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India last year, she said, “My dadu has Alzheimer’s disease, which is why the film was even more emotional for me. He’s at a point now where he doesn’t remember most things, but I believed in this film because it says ‘dimaag bhool jaata hai par dil kabhi nahi bhoolta (the mind forgets but the heart does not)’, and that’s very true for my dadu. He doesn’t remember my name; he doesn’t remember most, but he calls me Heeraput, or Makkhan."

She explained that as her film was approaching its release, she worried her grandfather wouldn't recognize her or remember the movie. Because he was bedridden and unable to attend a theater, her parents showed him videos related to the film. He reacted with a smile, calling her "Heeraput" and referring to the movie as "Makkhan di movie," an experience she found very special.

Aneet’s upcoming films

Professionally, Aneet Padda is set to appear in Maddock Films' upcoming movie, 'Shakti Shalini'. Additionally, she has another film in development with her Saiyaara co-star, Ahaan Panday.
