Before captivating audiences with his intense performance in Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday was the unsuspecting victim of some hilariously chaotic childhood moments—many of them involving his famous cousins Ananya and Rysa Panday, and sister Alanna Panday. In a recent chat, the rising star shared one such unforgettable and slightly painful memory that hilariously proves mischief runs in the family.
The Door Incident
Asked about his “fondest memory” with Ananya, the new star didn’t hesitate. “Fondest memory of Ananya is when she hit me with the door. I was bleeding, I was rushed to the hospital.” Alanna, amused and surprised, chimed in too, but Ahaan clarified the prank was a group effort.
Ahaan elaborated on the incident, revealing that it was actually a coordinated prank pulled off by Ananya, Alanna, and Rysa. He recalled how Alanna had rushed into his room, urging him to come quickly for a “magic trick.” Excited and unsuspecting, a young and naive Ahaan ran out—only to have the door slammed on his head as part of the joke. What was meant to be funny ended with a trip to the hospital, making it a painfully unforgettable memory.
Sibling Shenanigans
But that wasn’t the only time Ahaan ended up with bumps and bruises. He also recalled how Alanna would often bang his head against the car during their childhood antics—an accusation she laughingly denied during their chat. The playful sibling banter added a nostalgic touch to the conversation, highlighting just how mischievous their bond has always been.Despite all the childhood mischief, Ahaan’s love for his family is unmistakable. He fondly remembered getting his very first tattoo as a tribute to Alanna — inked with her birth year, symbolising their close-knit bond.
Saiyaara effect
Earlier this week, Alanna Panday shared an emotional family moment on Instagram after they watched Saiyaara for the first time. In the heartwarming video, Alanna is seen hugging her mother, Deanne Panday, as both break down in tears—overcome with pride and emotion. Her husband, filmmaker Ivor McCray, is also seen comforting her with a warm embrace and a proud smile, soaking in the special moment.Ahaan Panday’s big-screen debut in Saiyaara is striking a powerful chord with audiences. Portraying the brooding and magnetic Krish Kapoor, the newcomer is winning hearts nationwide as the film blazes its way through the box office.
