For any new actor, their debut film is a highly significant moment and for Ahaan Panday, it was even more special because of the heartwarming support of his family. The emotional ride of the release of his debut film ‘Saiyaara’ was beautifully captured in a YouTube vlog by his sisters Alana and her husband Ivor. Amidst the glitz and glamour, one reaction stood out—that of his cousin and star sister, Ananya Panday, whose raw, unfiltered pride has become the highlight of the day
Ananya Panday’s Unexpected Breakdown
From the moment she appeared in the vlog, it was clear that Ananya was not just a fellow celebrity but a proud family member. The video captures her emotional journey throughout the movie launch event. As Ahaan Panday spoke about his journey and thanked his family, the camera cut to Ananya, visibly tearing up. Her reaction was a powerful testament to their bond, showing a side of her that was purely a supportive and loving sister, not a star. She said, ‘I never cry’, to which her cousin Alana Pandey agreed and said, ‘She never cries’ and ‘ Even if she gives birth to her own child, she won’t cry’. Ananay’s tears are the personification of her immense love for her little brother and how proud she is to see him act on the big screen.
