Inside Aneet Padda’s Pink Fairytale 24th With Alia Bhatt

Aneet Padda turned 24 on October 13, and her birthday party quickly became a fan event once pictures leaked online. Saiyaara actor Alam Khan shared the photos on Tuesday; the post was later taken down, but fans had already saved and circulated the images.

The celebration was a pink-and-green fairytale setup at home. Two elaborate cakes anchored the table: one shaped like a castle and the other a two-tier pink creation. Aneet wore a short yellow bodycon dress, while Ahaan Panday kept it low-key glam in a shimmery black shirt and black jeans. Deanne Panday joined the birthday girl for pouting photos.

A fan moment with Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt’s presence gave the evening its biggest talking point. Aneet has often spoken about her admiration for the actor, so fans treated the appearance as a full-circle moment. The comments were full of hope that the two will share screen space and that this was Aneet’s favourite birthday ever.

Fan interest in Aneet’s bond with the Pandays is not new. Deanne Panday often supports Aneet in comments, and fans have noticed the warmth. For an audience that follows star friendships as closely as film castings, that combination was enough to make the party a talking point.

A birthday note that revived the chatter

Ahaan had set the tone a day earlier with candid pictures and a note for Aneet. He wrote that she was “a gift to the cosmos” and that everything she touches “turns to stardust”. The message brought back the will-they-won’t-they questions, though both actors have long said they are best friends.

Since Saiyaara released in 2025, Aneet and Ahaan have stayed close. The Mohit Suri-directed romance marked Ahaan’s Bollywood debut and made the pair a popular screen couple. Aneet has also become a familiar face at Panday family occasions, including Alanna Panday’s baby shower in Mumbai.

Why the pictures travelled so fast

• Saiyaara’s built-in fandom: the lead pair’s chemistry already had an audience waiting.
• Alia’s star power: a rare appearance at a young actor’s private party raised the stakes.
• The deleted-post effect: the now-you-see-it energy only encouraged more shares.

What comes next for Aneet

The actor will next headline Shakti Shalini, part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, expected to feature Vishal Jethwa among others. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 6. Aneet has also reunited with her Saiyaara team, including Ahaan and director Mohit Suri, for another romantic drama.
