‘Saiyaara’ star Ahaan Panday thanks fans: ‘I feel the love in my bones’

Riding high on the overwhelming success of Saiyaara, debutant actor Ahaan Panday took to social media to share a deeply personal and emotional message, thanking fans, mentors, and his late grandmother in a moving tribute that has touched hearts across the nation.

The romantic drama Saiyaara, which also marks the debut of actress Aneet Padda, has become the highest-grossing film for debutants in Bollywood history, crossing the Rs 500 crore mark globally. But amidst the glittering box office numbers, Ahaan chose to look inward and backward, with gratitude and vulnerability.

"Kabhi yeh nahi socha tha mujhe itna pyaar milega. Dadi mujhe hamesha 'Raj' bulati thi. Kaash woh aaj Krish ko dekh paati…"

In his heartfelt post, Ahaan remembered his grandmother fondly, expressing how much her presence is missed during this defining moment in his life. Calling her “a lone star among the stars,” he wrote:

“Sitaaron mein sitara, ek tanha tara – dadi meri. Wahan se dekh kar mujhe muskuraengi. Ye sirf aapke liye hai, dadi.”
The actor, who’s been lauded for his raw and natural performance in the film, opened up about the child within him, the one who faced self-doubt, stage fright, and skepticism from others.

“I promise to work twice as hard, be twice as good, and do this for the child in me... the one with two left feet, the one who was always told he couldn’t do it.”

Ahaan’s message wasn’t just a thank-you, it was a powerful reminder of dreams, self-belief, and the innocence that lives inside every achiever. He concluded with an emotional promise to stay grounded and grateful:

“I feel this love in my bones. I’ll feel it forever and ever and ever. Tere bina to kuch naa rahenge…”
