Ahaan Panday, the nephew of Chunky Panday and cousin of Ananya Panday, is currently enjoying great success thanks to his debut film, Saiyaara, in which he co-starred alongside Aneet Padda. According to Twitter reviews of the movie, the two young performers are “bundles of talent,” and they have dominated the box office like no newcomers have before.
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, transported us back to the romantic era, evoking the same vibes as his 2013 film Aashiqui 2. Now, director Karan Johar has shared his thoughts on the movie, along with a harsh response to a troll who labeled him “a nepo kid ka daijaan.”
Along with a poster of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s debut film Saiyaara, Karan Johar shared, “I don’t remember the last time I felt like this after watching a film …. Tears flowing and yet the feeling of immense joy… Joy for the fact that a love story has conquered the silver screen and made the nation fall in love.” He went on to laud YRF and Mohit Suri, before adding, “What a debut @ahaanpandayy !!!! You broke my heart and yet energised me as a filmmaker… your eyes spoke volumes and I can’t wait to see your journey ahead…. You are spectacular!!!! Welcome to the movies !!! @aneetpadda_ you gorgeous girl… how lovely and amazing are you!!! Your silences spoke volumes and your vulnerability and strength moved me to tears…. Both Ahaan and you were beyond magical!”
In the comment section below, some fans agreed, while others requested that KJo cast Ahaan and Aneet in his next film. However, some trolls initiated the nepotism debate, accusing Karan of being the ‘flagbearer’ once again. One such internet user stated, “A gaya nepo kid ka daijaan .” Most celebrities usually ignore trolls. However, this time Karan decided to hit back and replied, “@sometimesasif chup kar!!! Ghar baithe baithee negativity mat paal! Do bachon ka kaam dekh !! Aur khud kuch kaam kar !!!!” Under this comment, many netizens came out in support of KJo. One such fan suggested, “@karanjohar ignore & delete comment,” whereas another comment read, “every time it’s not necessary to point out nepotism. If people are talented they should be appreciated. You said it very well @karanjohar.”
