To the one who deserves this more than anyone! This stage is yours @ahaanpandayy I love you, I'm proud of you, I'm crying I'm screaming and I'm only wishing and praying that there is more and more to come for you! The world will finally know you and what you can do! Forever". This led many to believe that there was a romantic connection between the two. The speculation was further fueled by discussions on platforms like Reddit.
Despite the rumors, a source close to Ahaan Panday has clarified that there is "absolutely no truth" to the reports.
