The Bollywood spotlight is firmly on debutant Ahaan Panday after the grand release of Saiyaara, and no one is prouder than his cousin and actress Ananya Panday. In a heartwarming and candid moment following a special screening in Mumbai, Ananya declared herself the “first member of the Ahaan Panday Fan Club,” drawing cheers from fans and family alike.
Ananya, known for her roles in Gehraiyaan and Dream Girl 2, attended the screening to support her cousin’s cinematic launch. Wearing a radiant smile and casual glam, she posed for photos and interacted with the media, clearly emotional and proud of Ahaan’s first step into Bollywood. Her supportive words added another layer of excitement to the already-buzzing debut of Saiyaara.
Speaking to the press, Ananya said, “I’ve always known Ahaan had it in him. His passion, his focus, and now his performance—he’s a star. Watching him on the big screen was surreal. I had goosebumps.” Her reaction not only showcased her affection for her cousin but also gave fans a glimpse of the close-knit Panday family dynamic.
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, marks the debut of both Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, and the film has already garnered strong reviews for its emotional depth, romantic storytelling, and impressive performances. With box office numbers climbing and praise pouring in from critics and stars alike—most notably Alia Bhatt—Ahaan’s entry into Bollywood appears to be off to a dream start.

Social media has also exploded with clips and fan reactions, with hashtags like #AhaanPandayDebut and #Saiyaara screening trending across platforms. Ananya’s visible excitement only fueled the conversation, making her presence a key highlight of the event. Many fans pointed out that while she herself entered Bollywood under intense scrutiny, she’s now celebrating a new chapter for her family with genuine joy and humility.
As the week progresses, all eyes are on how Saiyaara performs through its opening weekend. But for now, the Panday family is basking in the glow of a successful launch, and Ananya’s sweet endorsement is the cherry on top.
With such family support, industry attention, and audience love, Ahaan Panday’s Bollywood journey looks both promising and well-blessed.
