Aneet Padda pens beautiful post for Ahaan Panday's birthday: ‘I've seen the world stop and stare at you...'

On Ahaan Panday's 28th birthday, his Saiyaara co-star Aneet Padda penned a heartfelt Instagram post titled, “I’ve seen the future” and shared a series of unseen pictures and videos of Ahaan.

In the beautiful note for her best friend, Aneet poured in her admiration for Ahaan and the “kind” person he is. “I will always be proud of the person,” she said.

“I’ve seen passersby smile when you laugh out loud, they can’t help it. I’ve seen colours change in the world around, when your eyes are lost in thought, admiring an old woman, watering her plants, unaware. I’ve seen the scribbles in your notepad, holding the musings of an unusual mind, rare and magical. The change of your camera lens, stubborn in its search for beauty in the mundane. I’ve seen you be so selfless,” she wrote.

Aneet mentioned how easily her parents trusted Ahaan. “I’ve seen my mom and dad trusting you deeply, beaming with love when they ask “ahaan kiven ae? theek hai na?” every video call.”

She also talked about Ahaan's mother, Deanne, and his grandmother, and said that they are proud of him, as is she.

“I’ve seen Deanne aunty cry every time she sees your face on that poster. Pride mixed with disbelief at her son’s kindness, his soul—at the man she raised. You were always a star, dadi was always proud. I saw the future then and I see it now. It’s all set to come true,” Aneet wrote.

She also wrote about the impact Ahaan has on the lives of strangers, “I’ve seen a stranger having a better day, after talking to you. I’ve seen the security guard waiting for his daily chat with you at 2pm sharp. I’ve seen the world stop and stare at you before it knew why. Before it met its saiyaara on a movie screen.”

“Happy birthday Ahaana, I will always be proud of the person you are. Thank you for giving the world the gift of you,” Aneet wrote, concluding her birthday wish for Ahaan.

In an earlier interview with LiveMint, Aneet shared that she had instantly bonded with Ahaan and said she knew almost immediately that they would be great friends.

“When I met Ahaan for the first time, I knew that I was going to be very comfortable with this person…There was something very disarming about him,” she said.

The Saiyaara stars were recently spotted together at an airport, giggling and talking among themselves, reigniting dating rumours. Even filmmaker Karan Johar referred to Ahaan and Aneet as a potential new ‘It couple’ of Bollywood.
