Actors Aneet Padda (23) and Ahaan Panday’s (27) onscreen chemistry in the romantic drama Saiyaara was widely praised, with fans swooning over their pairing. This led to speculations that they might be dating in real life as well. However, Ahaan has now set the record straight, saying that they do not share a romantic relationship.

“Aneet is my best friend. The whole internet thinks we’re together, but we’re not. Chemistry isn’t always romantic; it’s about comfort, safety, and being seen. We’ve both made each other feel that,” said Ahaan in an interview with GQ India.

He added, “But I’ll never have a bond like I have with Aneet. Before Saiyaara, we both loved this quote by [novelist] Paulo Coelho: ‘It’s the possibility of a dream coming true that makes life interesting.’ We dreamed this together, and it came true. What we’ve shared is so special.”

The actor also confirmed that he is currently single.
