Ahaan’s K-Pop Crush Unveiled
An old clip resurfaced on the internet from Alanna’s YouTube channel where Ahaan dropped the bombshell that BLACKPINK’s Lisa is his ultimate K-pop pick. Alanna, in a hilarious mix-up, scribbled “PINKBLACK” on a whiteboard, prompting Ahaan to burst into laughter before confirming his admiration for the Thai-born global superstar.
Fans of both Bollywood and K-pop were floored, with X posts buzzing about how this crossover wasn’t on their “2025 bingo card.” Ahaan’s charm and Lisa’s electrifying aura make this an iconic pairing no one expected!
Lisa’s Global Domination Fuels the Frenzy
Lisa, a powerhouse performer in BLACKPINK, is currently rocking the DEADLINE World Tour, with sold-out shows in Toronto and upcoming gigs in New York City on July 26 and 27, 2025. Her fierce stage presence and chart-topping hits like “Jump” have cemented her as a K-pop queen.
Ahaan’s shoutout comes at a time when Lisa’s influence is soaring, with her recent Ferrari flex and Spotify Global Top 50 tracks adding to her allure. Indian BLINKs are thrilled, flooding social media with memes and reels celebrating this Bollywood-K-pop connection.
Saiyaara Star’s Meteoric Rise
Ahaan Panday, cousin of Ananya Panday, is making waves with his debut in Saiyaara, a Mohit Suri-directed romantic drama that grossed over ₹175 crore worldwide. Playing Krish Kapoor, a troubled musician, Ahaan’s emotional depth has earned rave reviews, with critics calling him a “star in the making.”
His Lisa revelation adds a trendy edge to his Gen Z appeal, positioning him as Bollywood’s newest heartthrob. As Saiyaara continues its box office reign, Ahaan’s K-pop fandom is sparking crossover dreams of a Lisa cameo in a sequel.
