Ahaan Panday recalls the time Ananya Panday hit him with a door: 'I was bleeding, I was rushed to the hospital'
Before captivating audiences with his intense performance in Saiyaara,
Ahaan Panday
was the unsuspecting victim of some hilariously chaotic childhood moments—many of them involving his famous cousins Ananya and Rysa Panday, and sister Alanna Panday.
In a recent chat, the rising star shared one such unforgettable and slightly painful memory that hilariously proves mischief runs in the family.
The Door Incident
Asked about his 'fondest memory" with Ananya, the new star didn't hesitate. 'Fondest memory of Ananya is when she hit me with the door. I was bleeding, I was rushed to the hospital." Alanna, amused and surprised, chimed in too, but Ahaan clarified the prank was a group effort.
Ananya Panday Cheers Cousin Ahaan Panday's 'Saiyaara' Debut: 'A Star Is Born'
Ahaan elaborated on the incident, revealing that it was actually a coordinated prank pulled off by Ananya, Alanna, and Rysa. He recalled how Alanna had rushed into his room, urging him to come quickly for a "magic trick." Excited and unsuspecting, a young and naive Ahaan ran out—only to have the door slammed on his head as part of the joke. What was meant to be funny ended with a trip to the hospital, making it a painfully unforgettable memory.
Sibling Shenanigans
But that wasn't the only time Ahaan ended up with bumps and bruises. He also recalled how Alanna would often bang his head against the car during their childhood antics—an accusation she laughingly denied during their chat. The playful sibling banter added a nostalgic touch to the conversation, highlighting just how mischievous their bond has always been.
Despite all the childhood mischief, Ahaan's love for his family is unmistakable.
He fondly remembered getting his very first tattoo as a tribute to Alanna — inked with her birth year, symbolising their close-knit bond.
Saiyaara effect
Earlier this week, Alanna Panday shared an emotional family moment on Instagram after they watched Saiyaara for the first time. In the heartwarming video, Alanna is seen hugging her mother, Deanne Panday, as both break down in tears—overcome with pride and emotion. Her husband, filmmaker Ivor McCray, is also seen comforting her with a warm embrace and a proud smile, soaking in the special moment.

Mohit Suri Called Ahaan Panday ‘Fraud' After Saiyaara Shoot Ended: ‘He Sent His Bad Auditions…'
Last Updated: Saiyaara director Mohit Suri jokingly admitted if he had seen Ahaan Panday's over-the-top audition videos before casting him, he might have reconsidered the decision. Saiyaara director Mohit Suri recently shared a hilarious anecdote about Ahaan, revealing that the actor sent him all his 'bad auditions' after wrapping up Saiyaara shoot. These video clips featured his 'over-the-top' dialogues, and Ahaan showed the videos to Mohit Suri, playfully telling him 'You've cast this boy!' The filmmaker jokingly admitted that had he seen those videos before casting Ahaan, he might have reconsidered the decision. He playfully called Ahaan a 'fraud' for keeping those over-the-top auditions hidden until filming wrapped. While speaking with Zoom, Saiyaara director Mohit Suri said, 'After the last day of his shoot got over, he (Ahaan Panday) sent me all his bad auditions. He said, 'Tell me something, bro. You've cast this boy." (laughs) If I would have seen those auditions, I would have probably not cast him. He's doing every over-the-top dialogue possible." Mohit Suri revealed that Ahaan is an ardent fan of Govinda, Shah Rukh Khan, and Ranbir Kapoor. 'He knows he is not good in them. But he purposely shared them saying, 'You've cast this boy!" After the shoot is over." When asked what he told Ahaan after watching the videos, Mohit Suri replied, 'I said you are a fraud. And some swear words." Meanwhile, he also opened up about Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor's support for Saiyaara, calling it 'biased" — and saying it means even more to him when audiences embrace the film too. 'Those two are biased also. Dono teaser se hi film ko support kar rahe the (They have been supporting the film since the teaser). They are biased towards me but to see the rest of the world love it the same way, as they have, is more important also," he said. Mohit's latest film Saiyaara, featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, follows a lyricist and singer navigating love, art, and emotion. Released on 18 July, the film has earned nearly Rs 300 crore in India thanks to its soulful music and heartfelt storytelling. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
