Saiyaara star Aneet Padda avoids paparazzi & refuses selfie to a fan, netizens say, 'Abhi se hi itna..?'

In the age of social media and round-the-clock paparazzi coverage, celebrity encounters in public often become viral moments; some celebrated, others critiqued. Rising stars are frequently thrown into the spotlight, and even the smallest gesture or silence can fuel heated discussions online. This was precisely the case last night in Mumbai, when Saiyyara actress Aneet Padda stepped out in public.

According to a widely circulated video, Aneet was seen leaving a popular salon in the city. The moment paparazzi spotted her, they rushed to her for photographs and brief interactions. However, the actress, wearing a mask and maintaining a low profile, made her way straight to her car without acknowledging the cameras or responding to any of the calls from photographers. What caught more attention, however, was her decision to avoid two individuals—a young boy and a man—who appeared to be fans and had requested a photo with her. Aneet, keeping her head down, got into her car without engaging with them.

The video quickly made its way to social media platforms, where netizens expressed a range of opinions. While some were critical of her seemingly aloof behavior, others jumped to her defense. Comments such as “How rude” and “Abhi se hi itna arrogance?” reflected disappointment from a section of viewers who felt the actress should have acknowledged her fans.

On the other hand, a number of users offered a more empathetic view. One user wrote, “She is clearly nervous, bro. Let her live at least.” Another shared some context, saying, “She’s new to all this. I heard she’s been told to keep a low profile for a while. Also, in the video, she said, ‘Abhi nahi, baad mein deti hoon, ok.’”

While Aneet Padda hasn’t issued any statement, the incident highlights the ongoing debate around celebrity privacy and public expectations; especially for newcomers adjusting to the pressures of fame.
