Ahaan Panday pens a birthday special thank you post
Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a heartwarming photo of himself surrounded by an array of sweet and thoughtful gifts from his fans. Accompanying the image was a touching note expressing his gratitude: “Thank you for all the wishes, (And thank you to all the people who made this year what it was) All love here always :*”.
Co-star Aneet Padda 's emotional tribute
Panay’s co-star from ‘Saiyaara’, Aneet Padda also shared a series of adorable pictures and videos on Ahaan’s special day. She penned a heartfelt note, “I’ve seen the future. I’ve seen passersby smile when you laugh out loud, they can’t help it. I’ve seen colours change in the world around, when your eyes are lost in thought admiring an old woman, watering her plants, unaware. I’ve seen the scribbles in your notepad, holding the musings of an unusual mind, rare and magical. The change of your camera lens, stubborn in its search for beauty in the mundane. I’ve seen you be so selfless. I’ve seen my mom and dad trusting you deeply, beaming with love when they ask “ahaan kiven ae? theek hai na?” every video call. I’ve seen Deanne aunty cry every time she sees your face on that poster. Pride mixed with disbelief at her son’s kindness, his soul—at the man she raised. I’ve seen a stranger having a better day, after talking to you. I’ve seen the security guard waiting for his daily chat with you at 2pm sharp. I’ve seen the world stop and stare at you before it knew why. Before it met its saiyaara on a movie screen. You were always a star, dadi was always proud. I saw the future then and I see it now. It’s all set to come true.”
She added, “Happy birthday ahaana, i will always be proud of the person you are. Thank you for giving the world the gift of you.”
