Ahaan Panday's rise to stardom was not without its challenges. The actor, who is currently enjoying the success of his debut film "Saiyaara," was originally set to debut in a different, larger-than-life project before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the film was ultimately shelved due to the changing dynamics of the post-pandemic film industry.
The setback hit Ahaan hard, with director Mohit Suri revealing that the young star's "pride and 'guroor' were killed" overnight. Ahaan had been preparing for the YRF-backed project for seven years, and the cancellation left him heartbroken. Despite the disappointment, Ahaan's belief in the banner remained firm, and he was adamant about being launched by YRF.
Fortunately, Ahaan's perseverance paid off, and his debut film "Saiyaara," released on July 18, 2025, has become a runaway success at the box office. The romantic drama, featuring Ahaan and Aneet Padda, has captured the hearts of the audience, especially the youth, with its compelling story and the lead pair's chemistry.
