Ameesha Patel On Comparisons Of Saiyaara's Ahaan Panday To Hrithik Roshan And Ranbir Kapoor: " Baap Toh Baap Hota Hai"
While the Internet has been praising Ahaan Panday's incredible debut in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, there have been several comparisons floating around, too. Earlier, the movie was being compared to Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai, which had also seen a blockbuster opening for a film led by two debutants.
Now Ameesha Patel has addressed a fan's query when asked about Ahaan Panday being compared to Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor.
What's Happening
Ameesha Patel responded to a fan when asked about comparisons between Saiyaara's Ahaan Panday and Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor, making the rounds.
The fan asked, "Amy ma'am... Missed this #AskAmeesha session. One question from me: Have you watched Saiyaara? There's so much hype going on... I've seen people comparing the new actor with Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor. What do you think about this? Any comments?"
X/Ameesha Patel
Ameesha Patel responded, "I haven't seen the film, but I wish them luck. Ahaan, as per reports, is a very promising actor. But baap toh baap hai and beta toh beta hi hoga (A son will always be different from the father). Dugu is a WAR ahead of most stars..."
"Ranbir is an ANIMAL of a star... I'm sure it will take newcomers a lot of time to reach that level, and not many can become a Ranbir. Why put pressure? Ahaan will surely grow in time, in his own way, and we wish him all the luck," concluded the actress.
Ameesha Patel's Earlier Post Praising Saiyaara
In a post shared on X, the actress wrote, "Wishing the Saiyaara couple, Ahaan and Aneet, all the best!! May u continue to create GADAR at the box office in future films as well !! KAHAA NAA PYAAR HAIN shine bright always and welcome to the movies."

On comparisons with Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai, the actress had told Tellychakkar, "All I can say is, when Hrithik and I made our debut, we became the 'OG international crushes' overnight, and we had become sensations, and there was no comparison back then. And now, after 25 years, if a debut love story is finally being compared to Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, it shows the kind of benchmark our film has become. I am very grateful, Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai is the benchmark that's been compared to."
In A Nutshell
Ameesha Patel responded to a fan's question on X regarding why it is unfair to compare Ahaan Panday so early on with Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor. She also wished Ahaan Panday luck and mentioned that he would grow with time.

Chunky Panday Reunites With School Friends For Friendship Day Celebration
Chunky Panday celebrated Friendship Day with school friends from St Andrews, sharing pictures on Instagram. Actor Chunky Panday is celebrating Friendship Day with his school gang. On Sunday, the actor took to his Instagram, and shared a bunch of pictures from his reunion with his friends from St Andrews. In the pictures, the actor can be seen having a great time as he shared laughs and some unforgettable moments with his friends. He wrote in the caption. ' With all my schoolmates, the Andrean Boys. A night of Biryani, Booze and Bull****. Love these guys. St Andrews class of 1978. Thanks Robin K for hosting us". View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chunky Panday (@chunkypanday) Chunky was born into a medical elite family, his parents were doctors, with his father Sharad Panday being a renonwned heart surgeon, who came up with mitral valve replacement in India. Meanwhile, Chunky's nephew Ahaan Panday has emerged as a Bollywood star with the release of his debut film 'Saiyaara'. The film witnessed a terrific opening collecting INR 21.5 crore in India. 'Son of Sardaar 2', which stars Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, opened to a third figure of 'Saiyaara' at INR 7.25 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. The film had pushed its release date after witnessing the storm unleashed by 'Saiyaara' at the box-office. However, it still couldn't capitalise on the delayed release. 'Saiyaara' has done to this generation what 'Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai' did to the millenials or 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' did to Generation X with its debutants. Earlier, Mohit Suri, who has directed 'Saiyaara', had shared that owing to the film's success, he has not been able to give time to his family. His evenings are spent tracking the numbers, occupancy and the footfall in theatre for the evening shows of his film. Naturally, his wife, actress Udita Goswami has some complaints about him being superbusy. But it's a nice feeling to have. He told IANS, 'Every evening I sit with my phone from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock because I know the evening shows get over and I wait for people to call but everyone's calling, they're calling up crying and to hear their response. I don't know, forget myself, I don't know when there'll be a film like this where people will get so much love and I think that's just something very special". The film is now inching towards the INR 300 crore mark, a first for Mohit and the industry with regards to its debutants.
