Mohit Suri’s latest romantic musical movie, Saiyaara, featured fresh faces in the lead, including Ahaan Panday (debutant) and Aneet Padda. While the film has generated a massive buzz online, it has also broken several box office records. People are going crazy about the love story of Krish and Vaani. While it was Aneet’s big break in movies, this movie was Ahaan’s debut, and it made him a star overnight.
Although the actress doesn’t have any film background, the actor comes from a family of stars. He grew up in Mumbai and has seen a few actors at home, even spent time with others. His father, Chikki Panday, is a businessman who has connections in Bollywood, while his uncle is a popular actor, Chunky Panday. Scroll ahead to know more about his family members.
Who Is Ahaan Panday’s Father Chikki Panday?
Aloke ‘Chikki’ Panday, son of a surgeon, Sharad Panday, became an entrepreneur. He was a member of the Steel Consumers Council, a group under the Ministry of Steel, and has also been a part of the Telephone Advisory Committees of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. He founded Akshara Foundation of Arts & Learning, an NGO that works for the underprivileged students and provides them with proper education.
Although Chikki, brother of Chunky Panday, who became an actor in the late 80s and 90s in Bollywood, has a connection with the film industry, always kept a low profile. Ahaan Panday’s father has been friends with Sohail Khan (Salman’s brother) for a long time. He is quite close to the Khan family as well. While Ahaan is good friends with Shah Rukh Khan’s elder son, Aryan Khan, Chikki and SRK also share a close bond. He was the one who bailed SRK out of jail when he was arrested for threatening a journalist over writing defamatory things about him in a magazine. He was also one who helped resolve Salman & Shah Rukh Khan’s fight, as per Hindustan Times.
Chikki’s wife and Ahaan’s mother, Deanne Panday, is a model-turned-lifestyle coach. She has quite a high-profile clientele from the industry, including Salman Khan, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta, Preity Zinta, and others. Salman Khan has even promoted her books and business from time to time. Even Chikki and Deanne’s daughter, who is an influencer, Alanna Panday (Ahaan’s sister), had pre-wedding festivities happened in Sohail’s house.

Chunky and Bhavana’s daughter Ananya Panday is Ahaan’s cousin. They all grew up almost at the same time. However, she made her debut a few years ago and has already made a mark in the film industry with movies like Dream Girl 2, Gehraiyaan, and more. Alanna, Ananya, Ahaan, and Rysa are quite tight as siblings. They often share photos of each other.
So, Ahaan not only grew up among the actors but also has a few friends in the industry. And now, he is a star himself.
