Inside Ahaan Panday's palatial house in Mumbai: Four-floor mansion with separate flats for staff, game room, and cameras being monitored by dad Chikki

Indian Express5 days ago
Mumbai is often known for cramped spaces, absence of anything like a balcony, and small houses. But that definitely isn't the case with Ahaan Panday's family house in Mumbai. The Saiyaara actor, who must be on the top of the world celebrating his debut film, lives with father Chikki Panday and mother Deanne Panday. Previously, his sister Alanna gave a tour of their palatial mansion in Mumbai on her YouTube channel.
Spread across four floors, the house is gigantic as her father hosted Alanna's wedding here as well. Parts of the house were seen in Amazon Prime Video's show The Tribe as well. Alanna started the tour by telling the viewers that previously, the entire Panday family used to stay together, which includes Chuunky Panday's side of the family as well. She then revealed that she didn't have fingerprint access to get inside of the house, as she now resides in Los Angeles with husband Ivor. However, Ivor, who was also a part of the video, shared, 'But my fingerprint works, so I got it; don't worry.'

As they get inside, we see a huge front yard with an equally large dining table in the middle of it. 'If you have watched some of our YouTube videos, you might recognise this part of the house. We had our engagement ceremony in here, the bridal shower, and even our haldi ceremony happened here.'

Alanna explained how the entire family loves nature, and that's why the house has a lot of plants, and in fact, one of the seating areas in the front yard is wrapped around a tree. She shared that the entire staff that works in the house live in flats constructed by her father, and these are a part of the property as well. She said, 'My dad made these for them because if they lived inside the house, they wouldn't have a place they could call their own. This way they can decorate it the way they like and make the place feel more personal.'
We then move into the house, where we see a small decorative pool, but it has been emptied out because, according to Alanna, the 'pets think that it's their own pool', so they can't fill it up with water anymore. She showed the audience two separate living rooms facing each other, as they constantly keep having people over and they need a lot of seating.

Alanna then showed the dining table of the family, which she thinks is 'useless' because everyone eats dinner at separate times, and they only use it for really formal dinners or gatherings. The house has a big skylight at the top, and it has been kept at an angle so that the harsh sunlight of the summers doesn't affect the temperature of the house.
Alanna showed the fans several outdoor spaces spread across the house as she goes up the stairs and explains how her father is a bit paranoid. 'He has cameras and fingerprintscanners everywhere; he is a little bit paranoid. Whenever we are working around the house, I and Ivor always say, 'Chikki is watching.'' Alanna then showed the viewers the game room, which she said, 'doesn't match the vibe of the rest of the house because Ahaan and his friends hang out there.'
Ahaan also made an appearance in the video. He opened the door as his sister began to explain what they were doing and asked him whether they could see his room. Ahaan said, 'You want to show everyone my room? I think you will like it; it's very beautiful right now. Just give me one second,' as he proceeded to shut the door and lock it. Alanna tried knocking again but turns away defeated.

Now on day 6,, 'Saiyaara' has collected Rs 21.00 crore. The Wednesday numbers have seen a slight drop as compared to Tuesday. However, that was also expected since there were more footfalls on Tuesday due to discounted ticket prices in some national chains. The film's total collection so far, according to Sacnilk, is Rs 153.25 Cr crore. Even 's 'Sikandar' had failed to cross Rs 100 crore in its first four days. Thus, it has surely done better than many big movies.

Even more impressively, it's set to surpass the first Tuesday numbers of Pushpa 2 in the region—an achievement that speaks volumes.

Saiyaara: 4 Reasons Why Mohit Suri's Hero Ahaan Panday Has Become Overnight Star & Internet's Darling

Let's now take a quick look at what makes Ahaan the internet's latest obsession and subject of massive fan frenzy: Resurgence of the romantic hero This is the age of action thrillers and political-motivated patriotic films. Every Friday brings to us yet another larger-than-life action hero, who doesn't bat his eyelids before taking down a gang of goons with death-defying action sequences. At a time like this, Saiyaara, a mopey love story, has come as a breath of fresh air. The industry and the audience were awaiting the arrival of a romantic hero and Ahaan's entrance seems to be a classic case of being at the right place at the right time. His Krish Kapoor is a rugged charmer. And he loves with all his heart. With a guitar in his hand and pain in his eyes, he has truly emerged as a modern-day lover boy. When his lady love fails to recognise him, a heartbroken and misty-eyed Krish plants a kiss on her forehead (of course, with consent). He shares a scintillating chemistry with Aneet. Plus, videos of him doing the rounds on the internet that show him grooving effortlessly to the beats of a timeless track makes him desirable. Could he be our modern-day Shah Rukh Khan? Those are big shoes to fill. But at least, we finally have a Gen-Z romantic hero, who will sweep you off your feet! Noteworthy acting chops Ahaan has been winning raving reviews for his debut act in Saiyaara. Years of training and patience have surely borne a sweet, sweet fruit. Even in the most emotionally dramatic and chaotic scenes, his restraint is palpable. His screen presence is luminous. His quite vulnerability and eloquent pair of eyes are signs of masculinity that isn't quite afraid to embrace its flaws and emotionality. In Saiyaara, he truly delivers an act that can make even the experienced and seasoned envious. Ahaan's debut can best be compared to Ranbir Kapoor's. Both these performances – Ahaan in Saiyaara and Ranbir in Saawariya – bear a testament to the fact that if you have talent that sparkles and shines all the way even in a bumpy film, you're sure to soar. It's understandable why the film achieved the feat for being the highest grossing film featuring debutants. The enigma factor Saiyaara has managed to break old records and set many new ones with a unique and clever promotional strategy. These feats have happened without the actors being exposed to the public glare and without any traditional publicity and marketing approach – zero interviews, zero city visits, no reels, no influencer content. That's what perhaps explains this euphoria and frenzy surrounding this new actor, Ahaan. This secrecy and limited visibility (only through old Dubsmash videos and Alanna's vlogs) have definitely amped up the intrigue surrounding him. At a time when actors go all out to promote their films – engaging in multi-city tours and mall visits – Ahaan is a strong reminder of the old times when actors were elusive. And that directly translated into footfalls in theatres. And even with the massive success the film has and continues to witness, Ahaan along with Aneet has pretty much continued to stay away from limelight. No success interviews, limited paparazzi videos, zero theatre visits. Smart move! advetisement Boy next door

Saiyaara Getting A Sequel After Blockbuster Success? Shaan, Who Played Mahesh Iyer, REACTS

Last Updated: Saiyaara fans are speculating a sequel featuring Krish, Vaani and Mahesh. Shaan R Grover responds to the buzz and shares emotional fan reactions. After Saiyaara's box office storm, fans are already dreaming about a sequel and now, one of the film's key characters is reacting to the buzz. While Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's characters Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra find a fairytale ending in Mohit Suri's romantic drama, fans haven't stopped thinking about the antagonist, Mahesh Iyer, played by Shaan R Grover. In an interview with Zoom, Shaan shared his thoughts on the possibility of Saiyaara 2. 'As far as my character is concerned, a lot can be done later. Mahesh just vanished; it was abrupt," he said, before adding, 'Maybe it can be explored if these characters decide to go on a different journey. What if Vaani wants to meet Mahesh one last time, that could be a different character arc for Krish. There are no talks for the sequel right now. It depends on YRF and Mohit Suri." Interestingly, AI-generated fan art showing Krish and Vaani as parents has been going viral, further fuelling speculation about a sequel. Shaan also revealed how he and Aneet Padda prepared for the emotionally complex dynamic between their characters. 'Aneet and I had chemistry workshops. They were for us to bond with each other. When we have rehearsed, those scenes flow easily," he said. 'It was also to show that we dated for five years. For the backstory in the original script I had read, we had dated for five years and that's a long relationship. It shouldn't have felt that we met 2-3 months ago." On playing a morally grey character, he confessed, 'Of course, it is not easy to play such characters. I am not Mahesh Iyer. That's not how I function… A friend of mine experienced something similar and couldn't stop crying while watching Aneet's performance. Her 7-year-long relationship broke because her partner didn't want to marry and then ghosted her. That's when I realised that people like Mahesh do exist." Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara released in theatres on July 18 and has since crossed Rs 150 crore at the box office.
