Bollywood actor Aneet Padda welcomed the New Year with a dose of warmth and a slightly fuzzy selfie on social media. The 'Saiyaara' star shared the cheerful image, spreading positive wishes for 2026 while playfully apologising for the delayed greeting.
A Charming New Year Greeting
In the picture posted to her Instagram Stories, Aneet Padda is seen smiling gently at the camera, dressed in a stylish black jacket. Accompanying the photo was a caption that read, "Happy 2026.

The candid moment quickly resonated with her fans, who appreciated her relatable and charming approach to the New Year celebration.
A Poetic Tribute to Co-star Ahaan Panday
This public display of affection follows another deeply personal post by Aneet Padda that recently captured significant attention. She penned a heartfelt and poetic birthday message for her 'Saiyaara' co-star, Ahaan Panday. Sharing candid moments with him, she described his warmth, kindness, and unique perspective on the world.
In her note, she elaborated on how people instinctively smile when Ahaan laughs and how his quiet observations add colour to mundane life. She referred to his notebook as holding the thoughts of a "rare and magical mind," highlighting his selfless nature and the deep trust he has earned from her own family.
Continuing the emotional tribute, Aneet mentioned how Ahaan's mother, Deanne Panday, often gets emotional seeing him on movie posters, filled with pride and disbelief at the man she raised. Concluding her message, Aneet wrote that she has seen his future and believes it is destined to come true, stating she will always be proud of him and grateful for his existence.
Clarifying Friendship Amid Rumours
The release of 'Saiyaara' and their visible closeness had sparked widespread dating rumours across social media platforms. However, Ahaan Panday later stepped in to clarify the nature of their relationship. He stated that the two share a strong friendship and are best friends, effectively putting all romantic speculation to rest.
