Riding high on the success of his debut film ‘Saiyaara’, Ahaan Panday has become one of Hindi cinema’s most talked about newcomers. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film has garnered widespread acclaim from both critics and fans. It stars Ahaan opposite Aneet Padda who has also been getting immense love. Not to mention, the box office has just blown out of proportion with surprising numbers pouring in for the movie. While Ahaan’s professional rise has been meteoric, speculation about his personal life has started to follow close behind—particularly around his rumored relationship with actor and lifestyle influencer Shruti Chauhan.The rumours originated after a gossip forum ‘BollyBlindsNGossip’ on Reddit, where eagle-eyed users speculated about their possible connection. But those familiar with Ahaan’s inner circle insist Shruti’s post stemmed from genuine admiration and support, not romance.What added fuel to these rumours, is when Shruti reviewed Ahaan’s film and cheered for him. She shared on her social media, “It’s the @mohitsuri magic again in cinema and you cannot get more of it! @aneetpadda you’re absolutely breathtaking and brilliant! @shanoosharmarahihai all your hard work and belief! Congratulations to the whole team!”Further praising Ahaan, she wrote, “To the boy who dreamed of this his entire life, to the boy who believed in it when no one else did, to the one who gave his all for this moment. To the one who deserves this more than anyone! This stage is yours @ahaanpandayy I love you, I’m proud of you, I’m crying I’m screaming and I’m only wishing and praying that there is more and more to come for you! The world will finally know you and what you can do! Forever.”However, a source close to Ahaan was quoted by India Today clarifying, “There is absolutely no truth to these reports.” This source further went on to call these rumours “rubbish.”Shruti Chauhan, known for her role as Maya in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy, is a model and actress with a growing presence in the entertainment industry. Originally from Jaipur, she studied arts at Jyoti Vidyapeeth College and was recently featured in the music video Hadh Se with singer Jubin Nautiyal.
