Another festival, another family photo, and another round of questions. Aneet Padda has been spotted celebrating Diwali with Ahaan Panday's family, and fans of the Saiyaara pair are paying close attention.

What happened?

Ahaan's mother, Deanne Panday, shared glimpses of her Diwali celebrations on Instagram Stories. Aneet featured in them.

In one picture, Aneet poses with Deanne, dressed in a floral outfit. In another, she stands with Deanne and other family members in front of a rangoli (a colourful floor design made for Diwali). Chunky Panday, Bhavana Pandey and Ananya Panday were also in Deanne's Diwali album.

Why is everyone talking about it?

This isn't the first time Aneet has joined the Pandays. She was also at the baby shower of Ahaan's sister, Alanna Panday, where she joined Ahaan, Ananya and other guests. She even took part in a game alongside Ahaan.

The repeated appearances, from birthdays to family gatherings and now Diwali, have kept the speculation alive. But neither actor has confirmed a relationship. Ahaan has previously said the two are best friends.

What came before, and what's next?

The two debuted together in Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara, which hit cinemas on 18 July 2025 and became a major box office success. Their on-screen chemistry made them one of Bollywood's most talked-about pairs.

They are set to reunite for another romantic project backed by Yash Raj Films, again directed by Mohit Suri.
