The clip features lead actors Ahaan and Aneet, dressed as bride and groom in traditional attire, clapping and hugging each other while visibly moved by their director's emotional reaction.

Saiyaara Star Ahaan Panday's Dad Chikki Panday Is The Man Behind SRK-Salman's 2013 Patch-Up
Last Updated: Ahaan Panday's father, Chikki Panday, played a major role in Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's 2013 reunion. Ahaan Panday, Chunky Panday's nephew and Ananya Panday's cousin, has officially arrived in Bollywood with a bang. Making his debut with Mohit Suri's Saiyaara opposite Aneet Padda, the young star kid is receiving widespread love from audiences. Early reviews suggest that Saiyaara may follow in the footsteps of iconic romantic dramas like Aashiqui 2, with fans already dubbing Ahaan a future star in the making. As Ahaan basks in the success of his first film, all eyes are also on his family, especially his father, Chikki Panday. Known to many in the industry as Aloke Sharad Panday, Chikki is more than just Chunky Panday's brother. He's a well-known businessman with long-standing ties in Bollywood, and interestingly, one of Shah Rukh Khan's oldest and closest friends. But Chikki Panday's influence in the film industry extends beyond family connections. He played a major role in one of Bollywood's most memorable reconciliations—when Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan ended their feud at Baba Siddique's famous 2013 Iftar party. The two superstars, who had not been on speaking terms since their fallout in 2008 at Katrina Kaif's birthday bash, shared a warm hug that made headlines. According to several reports, Chikki was the key figure behind that iconic moment. A close friend of both SRK and Salman, as well as politician Baba Siddique, Chikki reportedly orchestrated the reunion by ensuring both actors would be present and open to reconciliation. Insiders claim the groundwork was laid well before the party even began, with Chikki and Siddique convincing the superstars to let bygones be bygones. Today, as Ahaan steps into the limelight, there's no doubt that his father's deep-rooted connections and goodwill in the industry have been a silent but significant force behind the scenes. And while Ahaan's debut marks a new chapter for the Panday family, it also shines a light on Chikki's lasting legacy, not just as a father, but as a peacemaker who once brought two of Bollywood's biggest stars together.
