Is Aneet Padda a Nepo Kid? Are both mother and father Bollywood filmmakers? Here's the truth
If you search 'Aneet Padda Nepo Kid' on Google, one of the first search results is a Reddit post that discusses the privileges of the Saiyaara actress. The post claims that she was 'already born with connections'. So, is Aneet Padda a Nepo Kid? Let's find out. The Reddit post is just a reflection of a wide curiosity about Aneet Padda, who stars opposite Ahaan Panday. The lead actor of the Mohit Suri directorial comes from a privileged background. He is Ananya Panday's cousin. His father is actor Chunky Panday's brother, Chikki Panday. Meanwhile, the Reddit post claims Aneet Padda has strong links to the film industry, with her parents being Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia. For the uninitiated, Nitya Mehra is the director of Baar Baar Dekho, starring Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra. Karan Kapadia is the director of Big Girls Don't Cry. The Amazon Prime Video web series stars Aneet Padda among others. The Reddit post claims the connection makes the 22-year-old actress a Nepo Kid, rather than an outsider. However, the fact is the entire post is based on false information. Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia became parents in 2019. They are not Aneet Padda's parents. The confusion probably stems from Aneet Padda calling them her 'Bombay parents' for their support during the OTT show. Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia mentored the young actress closely. Aneet Padda, born on October 14, 2002, comes from a middle-class family in Amritsar. While not much about Aneet Padda's mother and father is publicly available, it is reported that they prefer to remain private. Her mother reportedly supported her decision to choose acting as a profession. Aneet Padda studied at Spring Dale Senior School in Amritsar. She started her showbiz journey as a teenager, modelling during her college years at Jesus and Mary College, Delhi. Before her big break with Yash Raj Films in Saiyaara, she acted in a number of ad films for companies like Nescafé, Cadbury Dairy Milk and Paytm. Her Instagram posts from 2022 feature the ad films. Aneet Padda's first on-screen role was as an extra in Kajol's 2022 film Salaam Venky. Her real break came in 2024 with Big Girls Don't Cry on Amazon Prime. In this series, she acted with Pooja Bhatt, Raima Sen and Zoya Hussain. In simple words, Aneet Padda is NOT a Nepo Kid, a beneficiary of Bollywood nepotism. She is a complete outsider. Yes, on Instagram, she is followed by big Bollywood stars like Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and Fatima Sana Shaikh. But, that's probably because of her rise to stardom with Saiyaara.

Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa To Release On OTT? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Vishnu Manchu had earlier said that the movie's OTT rights had yet to be sold. Kannappa, a mythological drama produced by actor Vishnu Manchu, was released in theatres on June 27. The film starring Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal and Vishnu himself, has received a lot of appreciation for its gripping story. In the midst of enormous buzz around the picture, reports suggest that just after 4 weeks since its release, the movie is likely to start streaming on OTT. According to 123Telugu, Kannappa, starring Vishnu Manchu, will be released on Amazon Prime Video on July 25. If the claim is correct, the movie will be available on digital platforms less than a month after its theatrical premiere as opposed to what Vishnu Manchu has earlier stated. During a pre-release event, Vishnu Manchu made it clear that the film will not be available on any streaming platform immediately. Vishnu revealed that the film's OTT rights had yet to be sold, which is a deliberate decision that would allow the film to have a longer theatrical run without the constraints of its OTT release date. Vishnu said, 'I have a very large freedom; my movie will not come to OTT before 10 weeks. That is the deal I have, and by God's grace, I don't have any release pressure. My only intention is to showcase the best to the audience," as quoted by India Today. The movie features an amazing cast and noteworthy cameos. Vishnu Machu portrays a valiant warrior who transforms into Lord Shiva's devoted servant, Bhaktha Kannappa. Akshay Kumar plays Lord Shiva, Prabhas portrays Rudra, while Mohanlal delivers a stunning performance as Kirata. Kannappa tells the story of Thinnadu, a young, ferocious tribal hunter who is atheist. However, one day, the man uncovers a Shiva Lingam in the forest that changes the course of his life. The film was produced by Twenty-Four Frames Factory and AVA Entertainment. Kannappa, which has been released in five languages (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi), provides a visually magnificent and emotionally profound spectacle about devotion and mythology.
