Ahaan Panday’s candid confession goes viral; says sister Alanna made him try first cigarette at 16; Read more

As Ahaan Panday basks in the success of 'Saiyaara's blockbuster success, a resurfaced throwback video is letting fans in on a more unfiltered side of the rising star. In a now-viral clip from Alanna Panday’s YouTube channel, Ahaan reveals with a cheeky grin, “When I was 16, Alanna called me into her bathroom and she made me try my first cigarette.”
Alanna, clearly caught off guard, jumps in to protest, “You can’t say this sh*t, man. He’s lying. I am telling you. He’s making me sound like such a bad sister.” Her laughter and flustered denial only fuel the playful chaos. She later admits, “I was just excited that I had discovered something, and I wanted to share it with him.”

Fans can't get enough of his quirky charm
The banter doesn’t stop there. Ahaan doubles down on his story, adding, “I’m not lying. I was 16. I had underdeveloped lungs, and you are giving me cigarettes, all out of love.” The clip left fans in splits, especially those newly charmed by his performance in Saiyaara.

Another hilarious moment in the video has Ahaan claiming he “lived in a corridor” for seven years. Alanna quickly counters, “It was not a corridor. It was a room built.” Ahaan, unfazed, shoots back, “It was a room built in a corridor. Everyone would see me in my towel every day.” This slice-of-life honesty is only endearing him more to fans.

As Saiyaara soars, Ahaan wins hearts on and off screen

With 'Saiyaara' crossing Rs 270 crore at the box office, Ahaan is proving he’s not just a debutante, but a breakout sensation.

Directed by Mohit Suri, the romantic drama has become a national favourite.
